Asia: 530mila morti all'anno nelle città per aria inquinata 12/29/2006 L'Organizzazione mondiale della Sanità (Oms) ha calcolato che l’inquinamento dell’aria causa 530mila morti ogni anno in Asia: le metropoli del continente riportano tassi di inquinamento che superano di 5 volte Parigi, Londra e New York e di 5-6 volte il livello massimo consigliato dall’Oms. E’ quanto emerge dalla "Conferenza 2006 per la miglior qualità dell’aria" conclusasi a Yogyakarta in Indonesia la settimana scorsa. La città più inquinata è Pechino con 142 microgrammi di particelle inquinanti per metro cubo d’aria, rispetto ai 22 di Parigi, i 24 di Londra e i 27 di New York. Proprio a causa di questi dati, il Comitato Olimpico Internazionale ha avvertito la capitale cinese che “rischia di perdere i Giochi, se non fa qualcosa per migliorare la qualità della sua aria”. Un rapporto dell’Asian Development Bank prevede però che in Asia l’emissione dei gas serra triplicherà in 25 anni.
