The analysis published by Ember, a think tank operating in the field of energy, reveals the countries with the highest air pollution caused by coal-fired electricity generation in Europe. According to the statement, Türkiye and Ukraine are in the top three places in all pollutant types in the country-wide ranking. Western Balkan countries follow Türkiye and Ukraine, despite their relatively small scale. European Union countries such as Germany and Poland rank high in terms of nitrogen (NOx) pollution.
Coal used for electricity generation poses a threat to human health by emitting pollutants into the air and causes many premature deaths. The spread of these pollutants can reach thousands of kilometers. In Ember's analysis, 27 countries within the European Union, the United Kingdom, Energy Community member countries and Türkiye are evaluated. Air pollution data is sorted considering coal power plants and three pollutants (SO2, PM10, NOx).
