Air pollution rose above recommended levels in all 20 European cities sampled for a European Environment Agency survey in 2000.The survey,published in March,included Antwerp,Athens,Berlin,Brussels,Copenhagen,and Lisbon.It found that air-quality limit values were frequently exceeded,especially in streets and other urban hot-spots.The report,Air Pollution at Street Level in European Cities,which is available at http://reports.eea.eu.int/technicaLrepport_2006_1/en/ teehnical_1_2006.pdf,concludes that traffic-related air pollution is still one of the most pressing problems in urban areas.
