Air Quality

Avatar: EEB EEB
Air pollution doesn't stay in one place. The pollutants in the air, carried by the wind, can travel quite far and affect areas beyond where they originated. Things like traffic, ships, farming, home heating, and power plants can create air pollution by releasing harmful substances. In the European Union (EU), more than 300,000 people die early each year because they breathe in toxic air. #realdeal(Opens in new tab)
