Resume de l’article : En Europe, près de 240.000 morts en 2022 à cause des particules fines

Article title: « In Europe, nearly 240,000 deaths in 2022 due to fine particles »

The article discusses a study published in the journal « Cardiovascular Research » that estimates the number of deaths in Europe attributable to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in 2022. The study used data on PM2.5 concentrations and health impacts to calculate the number of deaths caused by exposure to these pollutants.

The study found that fine particle pollution caused an estimated 238,000 premature deaths in Europe in 2022. Italy, Germany, and France had the highest number of deaths due to PM2.5 exposure, with 55,000, 46,000, and 41,000 deaths, respectively.

Overall, the study highlights the significant health impact of fine particle pollution in Europe and emphasizes the need for stronger air quality regulations and measures to reduce exposure.

Response: The study estimates that fine particle pollution (PM2.5) caused nearly 240,000 premature deaths in Europe in 2022, with Italy, Germany, and France having the highest number of deaths due to PM2.5 exposure.
