Air pollution responsible for more deaths than smoking, study says The number of people dying as a result of air pollution may exceed the number killed by smoking, a major new study suggests.

In Europe alone they estimate there are more than 790,000 additional deaths as a result – double the previous estimate, which did not properly account for the additional rates of cardiovascular disease. The Independent
