Brescia is top of a ranking of
European cities with the highest preventable mortality burdens
for PM2.5 pollution in a new study published by The Lancet
Planetary Health.
Bergamo is second in the study by researchers from the
University of Utrecht, Barcelona's Global Health Institute and
the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute.
Two other Italian cities were in the top 10, Vicenza (fourth)
and Saronno (eighth).
It said that Brescia would avoid 232 preventable deaths a year
by applying WHO guidelines on PM2.5, while Bergamo would have
137 fewer deaths.
