Deaths from air pollution in Europe are once again at the heart of scientific and health concerns following the publication of a major international study that analyses nearly 89 million deaths recorded between 2003 and 2019 in 31 European countries. The research, led by the Instituto de Salud Global de Barcelona (ISGlobal) together with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center-Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS), concludes that short-term …
Short-term air pollution causes 144,500 premature deaths per year in Europe, triggering systemic inflammation, imbalances and increases in blood clotting.
One study relates short-term exposure to a series of atmospheric pollutants with approximately 144,500 premature deaths per year in Europe, with fine particles being the most harmful, responsible for 79,000 deaths.
Environmental News Network - Combined Short-Term Effects of Air Pollutants Linked to 146,500 Premature Deaths per Year in Europe
Fine particles (PM₂.₅) were associated with around 79,000 preventable deaths, followed by nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃) and coarser particles (PM₂.₅-₁₀, particles with a diameter between 2.5 and 10 micrometres).
