phys.orgReducing traffic in Barcelona by 25% would prevent around 200 premature deaths a year linked to pollution: StudyA 25% reduction in motorized traffic in the city of Barcelona would have significant health benefits. A study carried out by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), a center supported by the "la Caixa" Foundation, estimates that this reduction in the number of vehicles could lead to a 17.6% reduction in nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels. This improvement in air quality would prevent almost 200 premature deaths per year, and if the electrification of the port is completed, the number of avoidable deaths would rise to 228 per year.
