Across the EU, over 300,000 people die prematurely from poor air quality every year, according to the bloc’s environmental arm. That is nearly half the number of excess deaths caused by covid-19 in its first 12 months
Europe prides itself as a green kind of place, the land of 15-minute cities where residents bike from work to yoga classes. But many bits of Europe still stink—literally.

What industry remains is the source of sulphur compounds that harm nature.

This would build on steady improvements in recent decades: premature deaths are already down by nearly half since 2005, a quiet policymaking triumph.
