Thousands a year die from effects of pollution in NL: study
Some 8,000 people a year die in the Netherlands from the effects of air pollution and 800 deaths are directly linked to coal fired power plants, Dutch scientists say. According to the study, trends in climate change continue to be an ‘unacceptable risk’ for global human health and the same goes for fine particulate pollution, which causes respiratory disease, and CO2 emissions. Fine particulate pollution is a complex mixture of extremely small particles and liquid droplets which can affect the heart and lungs and cause serious health effects when inhaled. The main conclusions of the study are that climate change continues to be an unacceptable risk to health world-wide, and that too little progress in limiting emissions is not only putting people’s health in danger but the health systems on which they depend.
