Closer to home, Paris has experienced some of its worst air pollution in recent days, while in the EU as a whole, even at permitted concentrations, industrial and traffic-related pollution is harming cardiovascular health.
Research in the BMJ looking at long-term data for 100,000 people in five European countries found evidence of harm, even at permitted concentrations.
There are currently no legally regulated maximum permitted concentrations of pharmaceuticals in the environment.
Food additives are closely controlled by legislation worldwide, but there is little agreement between countries regarding food additives that are safe, permitted concentrations, and specific permitted food uses [ 63].

Results showed that the gas sensor system covered a linear detection range from 8 mg/L to 5600 mg/L (R = 0.9963, n = 7) with a detection limit of 6.2 mg/L (S/N = 3), which was below the standard permitted concentration.
Furthermore, Commission regulation (EU) No 1004/2014 has lowered the maximum permitted concentration of butyl- and propylparaben in cosmetics and it has also banned them in leave-on products designed for application on the nappy area of children under three years of age.

Riders are permitted to use the drug for medical purposes below a certain threshold, but Ulissi's "adverse" sample contained almost twice the permitted concentration.
These de minimis thresholds are primarily based either on the maximum permitted concentration specified by the Ordinance on Drinking Water (Trinkwasserverordnung), or, if no maximum permitted concentration has yet been established, on toxicologically and ecotoxicologically derived threshold values.
