It identifies priority pollutants and explains the health, environmental, and broader impacts of poor air quality, including lessons related to COVID-19. The report reviews European and national legislation and delivery challenges, then provides tailored country sections covering urban context, emission trends, air quality trends, gap analyses, and actionable recommendations.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nAIR QUALITY  \nDEEP DIVE  \nBulgaria, Croatia, Poland and Romania  \nSustainable Cities  \nImplementation Framework  \nFebruary 2022  \nDisclaimer  \nThis volume is a product of the staff of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development/ The World Bank.
