Every year, 500,000 Europeans die prematurely due to air pollution. One of the main causes of this pollution is coal, still used in many countries. And this air pollution has no borders. It contaminates the entire continent.
Everywhere, citizens are fighting for the right to air that is safe to breathe. But lacking tangible evidence, their calls for regulation are easily dismissed. Together with scientists, a team of journalists sets out to search for evidence of air pollution.
In Poland, 75% of electricity is produced from coal. Rybnik, Poland, is one of the most polluted cities in Europe. Here, even before Covid, children wore masks to play outside and were advised to spend most of their time indoors to avoid breathing the toxic air. A shocking study conducted for this investigation reveals that children here have 425% more black carbon in their bodies than children in Strasbourg. It made headlines across Europe and even attracted the attention of the Polish government.
The study also showed that children in Strasbourg, a city with average levels of air pollution for a European metropolitan city, still have nearly a million particles of Black Carbon per millilitre in their urine. Will the powerful coal lobby resist these revelations?

excellent documentary. good to see how it went from being dismissed to gaining continental traction.

It’s shocking the pollution in this city. I wouldn’t have believed this problem existed if I hadn’t seen the documentary. I lived in England at a time when coal was used for heating. I don’t recall there being this kind of pollution there at that time. The polish children shouldn’t have to suffer this. Nor should the adults. In this day and age surely there is a solution? I guess I should consider myself fortunate to live on the ocean on the west coast of BC 🇨🇦. I hope the doc will show some solutions to this terrible problem.

It would appear politicians all over the world won’t face and deal with problems. It must be a requirement to become a politician. Take care of your position and to hell with the citizens. Are there any politicians anywhere worthy of respect? Canada has none. It seems Poland has none either. What a dreadful state of affairs. I’m sure France has no decent politicians either.

It's just weird how most countries are cutting down on pollution with clean energy, solar, wind, EV's etc, yet are reporting more pollution and "climate change" (aka: perfectly normal climate cycles in the span of hundreds, thousands, and millions of years) with or without humans.

It's perfectly fine to say you don't understand something instead of making asinine and untruthful comments about it.

You are a liar Sir

[@PatrickBaptist]

@BillAnt, it's prob all the EV fires going on, they are creating a whole new line of pollution and contamination problem (fire fighting foam).

Everything is a conspiracy when you don't understand how anything works. Anthropogenic climate change is real, it's a huge threat, and it's already here. Deaths from air pollution are a long, long documented phenomenon, ever since humans noticed that breathing in smoke was bad for you. Ever since industrialisation. You're on the wrong side of history, my guy.
