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. Lacking tangible evidence, their calls for regulation are easily dismissed – a team of scientists and 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 pre-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 revealed that children here have 425% more black carbon in their bodies than children in Strasbourg. This made the 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 – have nearly a million particles of black carbon per millilitre in their urine.
Will the powerful coal lobby resist these revelations?

Azerbaijan is ruled by dictator Ilham Aliyev and his wife, dictator Mihriban Pashayeva. They are fucking the Azerbaijani people! Azerbaijani people are afraid of dictator Aliyev! Things are very bad in Azerbaijan!😢😢😢
Handcuffing a whistleblower…are peeps thinking about themselves…..focusing on there gain
No podrían llevar todos los trabajadores un protector muy bueno para que no se enfermen??? Es obligación de la empresa. INHUMANO.
My father died much to soon after spending his life in the coal mines in West Virginia USA. I know that God loves us but so many things are so confusing. Jesus went to the cross that we would live.
The children’s paintings are so telling…. Out of the mouths of babes…..
Say that to GERMANY. GERMANY is using coal and prevents other countries from doing the same.
I was born and lived less than 1/2 mile from the Coal Mine, 18 Pitt Street Sydney Mine's Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia Canada,Many Have Dued From Black Lung
Да ладно! В Европе есть такие города???? В РФ конечно топят углëм, но не так массово
Many years ago in USA 🇺🇸 there was a 12 billion dollar coal fired electricity plant with scrubbers to clean the smoke. The USA government prohibited the implementation of this plant when it was not even fired up for service the first day. You green commies do not report the truth. That's my take.
My grandfather had emphysema from smoking non-filtered Camel Cigarettes most of his life plus working in a below-ground coal mine in Missouri from age 11 when his dad, my great-grandfather, died & he had to go to work to take care of his mom & 3 older sisters. He didn't have Black Lung or they didn't find that upon X-rays. Died from pneumonia in 1974, after his lungs filled & no O2 therapy 50 years ago.
I feel bad for those who live with this on an everyday basis!
In India many of coal company still active expecially in Karnataka state many of death from coal poison
Because some political people compromise with coal factory owners that's why they arrest you
German far green left propaganda. Full lies
et les enfants qui meurs avec des bombe ne mérite pas le droit de vivre eux aussi ??
merci pour tes efforts
Now that Poland has joined Germany as a vassal state of the United States they will no longer be able to get that clean LNG from Russia so back to the coal mines
Властям нужно бабло, а не люди

Congrats for your video … one of BEST Channel explains this kind of contnts. GREAT !!!!
Now they say clean burning natural gas is bad
It's a bit strange as to why anyone would willingly give birth in a place where your child is going to inevitably have such horrific health conditions.
Why does God allow pollution to take place?
Kind funny, people rebuffed me everytime I told them that nuclear energy is safer compared to coal and fossil fuels.
You can't compare the pollution of Poland to China….
Witamy Francję scenę dla zboczeńców! I ciot! Gasimy światło będzie fajnie!
Vergogna italiana, non abbiamo centrali atomiche, ma abbiamo centrali a carbone
