Government agrees that air pollution is costing
everyone at least 6 months of life

The Government acknowledges finally that the air pollution which is
caused by cars and other such vehicles are contributing in increasing air
pollution. Other sources like power plants too are creating more and more
pollution in the air making it unfit for humans and reducing their life by
almost 6 months in the UK.

The government agreed to this right after the Environmental Audit Committee
(EAC) report on the quality of air which was published this year in the month of
March. The first report from the Committee came to the conclusion that air
pollution could be causing at least 50,000 deaths in the UK annually and in
places with more pollution it could be leading to a reduction in the lives of
people by almost 9 years.

The health gets affected by air pollution since it makes heart diseases and
lung infections even worse then before. Despite the considerable effect on
public health hardly any efforts are being made to decrease the air pollution
levels.

The very first time the inquiry was ordered after the UK faced several
million pounds as fine money for carrying on with EU air quality targets which
were supposed to protect public health.
