Emissions From Tata Steel's Dutch Plant Reduce Life Expectancy - IJmond

The Dutch National Institute for Health and the Environment (RIVM) said that people living near the Dutch steelworks Tata Steel have a life expectancy 2.5 months lower than the Dutch average due to factory emissions. The institute said its research showed that exposure to particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide increased the risk of lung cancer and that 4% of new cases in the region could be attributed to emissions from the plant.

France goes through major episode of pollution this week

Road traffic and domestic heating, accentuated by lower temperatures, explain this phenomenon. "Inefficient wood heating (open fireplace and old wood pile) and human activities (road traffic, agricultural activities) are the main sources," said Atmo Rhone Alpes, organization responsible for the quality of the air in the Lyon region in a press release. The anticyclonic situation worsened the situation due to a weak dispersion of the air masses. In many French departments, the prefects have decided to limit tra
