According to World Health Organization (WHO) research, the emission from car
exhausts causes more deaths than road accidents. The research found that one third of all
harmful air pollution was caused by road transport, and that long term exposure to
pollution caused estimated 21,000 premature deaths a year across the three countries,
France, Austria and Switzerland. This is much higher than the 9,947 who died that year
as a result of road accidents.
In addition, the researchers calculated that the car fumes caused 300,000 extra cases of
bronchitis in children, and 15,000 extra hospital admissions for heart disease made worse
by the pollution. They calculated that the cost of dealing with all this was 27 billion
Euros per year. A lot of money goes into making cars safer, but not as much is spent
solving air pollution.
