(CN) Hungary has not done enough to reduce air pollution in Budapest, the capital, and in two other heavily industrialized regions, Europe’s highest court ruled on Wednesday.
Under European law, Hungary could face fines if it does not comply immediately with the European Court of Justice’s finding.
The case began in 2018, with the European Commission alleging that Hungary was violating limits on concentrations of particulate matter. Particulate matter is made up of dust, pollen, soot, smoke and other particles suspended in the air that are harmful to human health and the environment.
