The study published in 2019 on atmospheric pollution states that it has an impact of $114 billion a year. That's a recent study, from barely a year ago. It suggests that large quantities of atmospheric pollution comes from transportation and that road transportation—light, medium and heavy vehicles, buses and so on—make a significant contribution to that pollution.
Antipollution systems have become increasingly efficient in recent years, reducing total atmospheric pollution per vehicle. However, we now see that progress has stagnated and atmospheric pollutants such as carbon monoxide have even increased. Physicians and Health Canada therefore expect that more deaths will be caused by transportation-related atmospheric pollution.
You can see from the documents I sent you that the longer people live near sources of pollution, such as major roadways, the greater the risk they will suffer from health issues such as cardiovascular and pulmonary problems and cancers. In 80% of cases, the problems are cardiovascular. While climate change is a global problem, atmospheric pollution is both a global and a local problem. A person living near a source of atmospheric pollution may suffer extremely harmful effects. In the book I published two years ago, I quote Dr. François Reeves discussing the appeal of electric vehicles as a way to reduce atmospheric pollution.
