20.000 people killed by pollution in Bucharest

The number of respiratory diseases has increased from 3,9 to 48,8 / 1.000 people in the past 15 years, because of the pollution.

People who live in Bucharest have a lower life expectancy (by 4 years) because of the polluted air. The 1,5 million vehicles which invade the Capital’s streets everyday produce an enormous quantity of dust and CO2, which people inhale.

Eco-Europa Association, warns about the dangers that the citizens are exposed to every time they go out of their homes.

“Bucharest is the Capital of anger, smoke, noises and vibrations, the city of congestion and lack of space”, Dragos Stan, the president of Eco-Europa says.


One out of eight children suffer from asthma

Every year now, the same poor infrastructure which was designed some 20 years ago, must face 130.000 more vehicles more. Some 30% of these vehicles run with led based fuels, which was forbidden by the European Union ten years ago.

By inhaling led particles, people could get sick with respiratory and heart diseases and the number of children that are born with led intoxication has reached an alarming level, according to studies carried out by Eco-Europa experts.

More trees neded

A Bucharest inhabitant benefits from less than a quarter of the green space (square meters) limits that are requested by the European standards, of 12 square meters for every citizen.

Bucharest’s residential area is the only one which is near this standard, with some 11 square meters, while in neighborhoods like Drumul Taberei, the values bearly reach 0,6 square meters.

Yet, nothing is done. According to a law issued last year, someone must create a green surface area of at least 20 square meters / inhabitant by the end of 2010 and some 26 square meters by the end of 2013, according to an official from the National Environment Protection Association (ANPM).
