Reducing air pollution in major European cities could add 22 months to local life expectancy and save 31.5 billion euros ($43.4 billion) in health costs and work absenteeism, concludes a European Commission-funded study released Wednesday.<\/p>\n

One of the largest sources of persistent, air pollution is particulate matter emitted during the burning of fossil fuels such as coal for power generation.\u00a0 Current dust collection technology<\/a>, if fully implemented can remove nearly all particulate matter from power plant emissions<\/a>. As this study shows, the cost of implementing these, and other pollution control technologies pales in comparison with the public health benefits, and savings.<\/p>\n
