The EEA’s European environment and health atlas provides an online platform to check the quality of the environment.

The atlas, which was just released, provides data and information about how environmental assets protect us from pollution and other risks to our health and well-being in Europe.

Users of the interactive online tool can visualise how their surroundings affect their health and well-being using a set of detailed maps, which is a first for all of Europe. It addresses issues like air quality, noise and silence, green and blue spaces, and climate change in all of the EEA’s member and cooperating nations.

The online platform atlas, which is one of the tools created and published by the EEA to support monitoring the European Union’s ambition to have zero pollution, is closely aligned with many EU policy targets.

The atlas also enables users to visualise disparities in environmental risks, such as those associated with income, and create and share “environmental scorecards” of specific addresses or locations.

The atlas is based on extensive research on environmental health risks and the advantages of a healthy environment conducted by the EEA and other reliable sources.

The atlas aims to compile all of this data into a single digital hub, making it immediately useful to the general public. The Atlas will be a “living product,” which means it will be regularly updated and accessible to user feedback.

The European Union’s (EU) agency that offers unbiased environmental information is called the European Environment Agency (EEA). Its objective is to educate the public and assist those responsible for creating, implementing, and evaluating environmental policy.

The European Economic Area (EEA), with its headquarters in Copenhagen, Denmark, was established by the European Economic Community (EEC) Regulation 1210/1990 (as amended by EEC Regulation 933/1999 and EC Regulation 401/2009).

It began operations in 1994. A management board that includes representatives of the governments of its 32 member states, a representative of the European Commission, and two scientists chosen by the European Parliament, with assistance from its Scientific Committee, oversees the agency.
