Dirty air is killing seven million people every year

According to World Health Organisation (WHO)  figures there are seven million premature deaths every year directly attributable to air pollution.

One third of all deaths from stroke, heart disease and lung cancer are due to air pollution.

In 1990 the first smoky coal ban was introduced in Dublin.

In spite of the 1990 ban, smog levels last December in some areas in Dublin were 15 times over the limit recommended by WHO.
