The book "The Right to Life in Cases of Serious Environmental Pollution" by Silvia Mercogliano examines the legal framework of the right to life in the context of severe environmental pollution. It highlights the existing case law of the European Court of Human Rights, which has not recognized claims under Article 2 (Right to Life) in such cases. Instead, reference is often made to Article 8 (Respect for Private and Family Life). This approach raises significant questions, particularly regarding the individual rights that can be affected by environmentally harmful activities, as well as the obligations of states to take positive measures to regulate these issues. The author also analyzes Italian legislation concerning the installation of mobile phone base stations in densely populated areas and the related case law to illustrate the challenges and legal implications in this field.
