Several thousands of deaths were avoided due to the reduced emissions of air pollution particles during the first COVID-19 lockdown, the French health agency said on Wednesday (14 April). EURACTIV France reports.
The massive downturn in activity and reduced traffic that came as a result of the strict lockdown imposed in the spring of 2020 were beneficial to the health of people, according to a report by Santé publique France.
According to the French health agency, about 2,300 deaths linked to a reduction in the French population’s exposure to ambient particles were avoided, while an additional 1,200 fatalities were prevented as a result of reduced exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2), mainly linked to road traffic.
