Italy is the European Union
country with the highest number of areas at risk of smog and
heat waves in the EU, according to the first such report by the
European Environmental Agency (EEA).
The report collated indicators on health, the environment and
socio-demographic factors.
The study underscored that economic and social inequalities
increase the impact of atmospheric and noise pollution as well
as extreme temperatures, with the countries of South and East
Europe the most vulnerable.
