Traffic pollution blamed for thousands of deaths in mid Europe
A study led by Dr. Nico Kunzli estimates outdoor air pollution contributes about 6 percent of deaths in Austria France and Switzerland translating to more than 40 000 deaths per year with traffic pollution implicated in roughly half. The findings align with 60 plus studies and suggest substantial health costs from traffic related pollution including chronic bronchitis cases and asthma attacks. The research supports Europe wide efforts to curb transport related pollution and notes no universal safe pollution threshold for individuals.
