almost everyone in Europe is breathing toxic air

📌 98% of Europeans breathing highly damaging polluted air linked to 400,000 deaths a year

📌The worst hit country in Europe is North Macedonia.

📌 Eastern Europe is significantly worse than western Europe, apart from Italy 🇮🇹, where more than a third of those living in the Po valley and surrounding areas in the north of the country breath air that is four times the WHO figure for the most dangerous airborne particulates.
