Europe's dark cloud - How coal-burning countries are making their neighbours sick

The current report provides yet another strong argument for a rapid coal phase-out, showing that the health and climate impacts of coal power plants are immense, harmful and extremely costly to European countries, with the overall economic costs of health impacts from coal combustion in the EU estimated at up to 62.3 billion Euros. The fact that coal pollution travels means there is no ‘safe spot’ while any coal plant is running.
