94% of Spanish people breathe dirty air which damages their health.
The circulating traffic and industrial activity are responsible according to the World Health Organisation.
400,000 premature deaths occur in 27 members of the European Union every year because of contamination of which 20,000 were registered in Spain.
The annual report from ‘Ecologistas en Acción’ is the only one to measure the quality of air and the particles in suspension. Nitrogen dioxide, tropospheric ozone, and sulphur dioxide were the main contaminants in 2011.
The costs derived from atmospheric contamination represents between 1.7% and 4.7% of Spanish GDP.
Eight times more times of people are killed by contamination than in traffic accidents. (typicallyspanish.com)
