Mutualités Libres among 140 health and environment experts calling for more clean air measures
One of Belgium’s mutual health insurers has been taking a closer look at the country’s three low emission zones.
Dr Luk Bruyneel, a health and economics expert at Mutualités Libres, explained: “As a health insurance fund, we have to protect the health of our members. As air pollution is a major health risk, we want to contribute evidence to the debate. Health insurance data for our 2.3 million members allows us to produce high-quality studies on health risks from air pollution.”
