Europe
The text reports increasing global air pollution, with 91% of countries exceeding WHO PM2.5 standards. Europe is significantly affected, with most countries failing to meet safety levels. Economic losses in Europe from climate-related disasters reached 43 billion euros. Only Iceland, Estonia, and Andorra meet standards in Europe. The most polluted countries are Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Tajikistan, exceeding standards by a large margin.
The claims about global air pollution and economic losses due to climate-related disasters are partially supported by the evidence. Most countries face challenges in meeting WHO's PM2.5 standards, with only select countries like Iceland, Estonia, and Andorra reportedly meeting them in Europe. However, evidence for the exact figure of economic loss reaching 43 billion euros in Europe was not directly corroborated, indicating a need for more precise financial data. The assertion of Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Tajikistan being among the most polluted countries is supported by multiple sources.

environment
91% of states exceed the safe standards for fine PM2.5 particles established by the World Health Organization.
The evidence on PM2.5 particle standards suggests a high number of countries do not meet the WHO guidelines, though the specific figure of 91% is not directly confirmed but implied by similar statistics.
