COMMISSION NOTICE Guidelines providing a common understanding of the term ‘environmental damage’ as defined in Article 2 of Directive 2004/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage · European Union

| 123. | The second paragraph of Annex I provides that damage with a proven effect on human health must be classified as significant damage. It is possible that an adverse change in a protected species or a natural habitat could include effects which, because of the damage factors involved, have a parallel relevance for human health. For example, the contamination of a natural habitat by toxic substances might, at the same time, expose human beings to adverse health effects.
