Does anyone know of good academic papers on the topic? I have a few, but I'd love more.

Feel free to boost for reach.

Looks like there’s a 2026 update that requires displaying measured air quality levels in public spaces.

There also seem to be some studies looking at harmonising the law across Europe (ie as an EU law not just Belgium).
