1. Sources for this Digest

We appreciate the way GreenFacts has summarised the Baseline Report on Respiratory Health drawn up by a group of scientific experts under the Environment & Health strategy. GreenFacts' summaries are faithful to our report, while making it accessible to a much wider audience.
Chantal Bruetschy, head of the Health and Urban Areas Unit of DG-Environment

I am pleased to see that the issues relevant to the respiratory health of children, and to the health of the coming generations of European adults may now reach a wider audience. The challenges ahead are considerable but the health gains are surely worth the effort
Prof. Peter Helms, Department of Children Health, University of Aberdeen & co-chair of the subgroup "Respiratory Health" of the EU's Technical Working Group on priority diseases

The material content of the texts on Level 3 is directly sourced from the  Baseline Report on Respiratory Health (COM(2003)338 final), a leading scientific report produced in 2003 in the framework of the European Environment and Health Strategy  for the European Commission by the Technical Working Group on priority diseases, a large international panel of scientists.

The Levels 1 & 2 were written by Prof. Benoit Nemery and Dr. Tim Nawrot in collaboration with the GreenFacts editorial team.
