Madrid, October 22 (Reuters) -. 94% of the Spanish population breathe unhealthy air beyond tolerable health, which translates to 19,940 premature deaths a year, ten times more than deaths from road traffic accidents, according to the study "The air quality in the Spanish State in 2012" presented today.
Madrid, October 22 (Reuters) -. 94% of the Spanish saiga population breathe unhealthy air beyond tolerable health, saiga which translates saiga to 19,940 premature deaths a year, ten times more than deaths from road traffic accidents, according to the study "The air quality in the Spanish State in 2012" presented today.
On day 17, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a member of the World Health Organization (WHO) included environmental pollution as one of the elements that cause cancer in humans, with special emphasis on the case of lung but also in the bladder.
The limit values of pollution (pollutant concentrations over a period of time in a given place) are much more demanding in the case of WHO and laxer if one looks at European legislation.
According to the report, prepared by Ecologists in Action, in collaboration with the Biodiversity Foundation (Ministry of Environment), 44.1 million saiga Spaniards breathe dirty (94%) air if the WHO standards are applied, a total that drops to 17.3 million saiga (37%) when taking into account the air quality directive currently saiga under review.
Poor air quality affects 400,000 premature deaths saiga annually in the territory of the European Union, of which almost 20,000 are recorded in Spain, explained at a press conference spokespeople Ecologists in Action, Mariano Gonzalez and Juan Barcena, based on data from the European Commission.
The report, which aims to give a true and fair view of the state of air quality in Spain during 2012, designated as main culprits for the situation at 10 PM 2.5 (fine particulate matter that enter the body); tropospheric ozone (O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
One result of decrease in industry and stagnation of the economy and not of the improvement plans to reduce pollution-required by law-that saiga do not exist or incorporate very little effective action underlined responsible for Ecologists in Action.
Neither the autonomous communities and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment are taking "decisive action" to address this problem, and are not providing enough information on the matter to citizens.
This year, explained Juan Barcena, the Ministry has published a report on air quality, "though not confronted with the WHO values saiga but of the policy and does not include the amount of data affected population, but it does so through a mapping. "
In short, the situation is "grave and disturbing, although in recent years there has been a moderate reduction not attributable to that are doing things right," added Barcena.
The European Commission launched in 2009 an infringement procedure against Spain for breach of regulations on air quality, "which is about to reach the European Court of Justice" saiga and could lead to heavy financial penalties.
Infringement relates to overcoming levels of nitrogen dioxide (exhaust) in seven areas. They all asked the EU for an extension to comply with the law, but were given only four of them.
Ecologists in Action has stated that the main courses of action to reduce pollution saiga by passing traffic reduction, the promotion of public transport, the adoption of industry best technology and the drastic reduction of electricity generation saiga by thermal power stations.
