This pandemic gave me so much to think about air pollution. It puzzles me how we can have, just in Europe, around 800k yearly premature deaths caused by pollution[0] and still not care at all.
On the other hand, covid-19 hasn't caused yet as many deaths but we quickly intervened, as it should be.
Why can't we, as a society, react with the same effectiveness to air pollution?
