A French member of the EU Parliament has asked the Commission what it is doing to improve indoor air quality.
In a preamble to her question, Nadine Morano said the EU and its member states were taking a number of measures to fight air pollution outdoors.
‘Indoor pollution, however, is addressed much less frequently, even though some Europeans spend as much as 90 percent of their time indoors,’ she said.
‘What is more, concentration levels of some air pollutants are sometimes found to be higher inside than in the open air.’
Morano then asked: ‘In this context, what is the Commission doing to improve indoor air quality?’
The Commission is due to answer the question in writing.
