Polluted air is set to cause 160,000 deaths over the next decade, experts predict

Polluted air is set to cause 160,000 deaths over the next decade, experts predict Air pollution will cause 160,000 fatal strokes and heart attacks in the next decade unless the Government acts to clean up Britain’s dirty air, experts have warned.

The British Heart Foundation says that roughly 40 people a day will die from heart and circulation problems caused by toxic air over the next ten years. Currently, the annual total is 11,000 and that figure is projected to rise during the decade.

The charity warns today that air pollution presents a ‘major public health emergency’ that must be urgently addressed. The Daily Mail
