Estonia remains still one of the few countries with the cleanest air in the world

Only 13 countries in the world meet healthy air quality standards, reports Euronews. Only three countries in Europe have healthy air, one of which is Estonia. In a newly published study, conducted globally by Swiss pollution monitoring company IQAir, the results indicate an inexorable deterioration in global air quality. Only 130 countries out of 143 countries covered by the study have safe air quality. In Europe, it is good to breathe in addition to Estonia, also in Andorra and Iceland. In addition to other pollution, massive forest fires and dust clouds from the Sahara Desert have also dramatically worsened air quality.
