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.
