More than 500 000 people died in Europe in 2015 due to air pollution.

500.000 deaths.

Let that sink in.

I double checked with @chercheursdair_@twitter.com

The scientific consensus links air pollution (mostly burning of fuel) to 400.000 deaths/year in Europe.

@Joanie and the city was so quiet! I live in Evere and the first thing I noticed this morning was that 20db of background noise were missing
