EU reps meet today to update pollution rules — long overdue.

PFAS, pharma waste & pesticides still slip through.

Clean water isn’t a luxury — it’s a right.

Time for bold action.

As tiny as a lentil, plastic pellets are the second largest cause of microplastic marine pollution.

The Council and the European Parliament have agreed on rules to improve the handling of plastic pellets and reduce unintentional releases into the environment.

🌊 New rules to tackle water pollution in Europe — PFAS, pharmaceuticals and microplastics are now in scope.
The @Europarl_EN has voted to strengthen EU water quality. Robust data is what makes policy like this possible.

🌍 Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay!

Change is happening: across Europe, we are rethinking plastics — reducing waste and moving towards circular solutions.

At @EEA, we support this transition with data and knowledge. 💚

💨 Air pollution is decreasing — but still deadly.

Between 2005–2022, deaths from PM2.5 in the EU fell by 45%.
Yet in 2022 alone:
🔹 239,000 deaths linked to PM2.5
🔹 70,000 to ozone
🔹 48,000 to NO₂

There’s no path to climate neutrality or zero pollution without confronting petrochemicals.
CIEL calls on the EU to phase down fossil-based production, reject false fixes, and center justice in its transition.
The era of petrochemical denial is over.

The EU’s new budget lacks pollution funding, risking #ZeroPollution & public health.

💸 Fossil fuel subsidies (€93B) nearly double the €58B needed for pollution control

☠️ Pollution causes 1 in 10 early deaths in Europe
