Heat wave exposes 300 million Europeans to harmful ozone

A recent heat wave in Europe has put two-thirds of the EU's population, around 300 million people, at risk from dangerous ozone levels, according to an exclusive report. This alarming spike in ozone pollution, exacerbated by the extreme temperatures, highlights the severe environmental challenges Europe faces in the face of climate change.
