摘要

More could be done to prevent the early deaths of up to 50,000 people each year hastened by air pollution, UK MPs say.rnA Commons Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) report said failure to reduce pollution had put an "enormous" cost on the National Health Service and could cost millions in EU fines.rnIt said the UK should be "ashamed" of its poor air quality which was contributing to conditions such as asthma, heart disease and cancer. The government accepted more could be done, with major changes needed to transport policies that accounts for up to 70 per cent of pollution in towns and cities, and would consider the report.
