•
In Bulgaria, 14,000 people die each year as a result of dirty air, according to the World Health Organization.
•
In addition to mortality, air pollution has a strong impact on human health and therefore has a major impact on healthcare spending in the country.
•
Poor air quality affects all people, with vulnerable groups particularly affected, such as pregnant women, children, the elderly and especially those suffering from respiratory and other serious diseases, exacerbating the development of influenza and ARI, and particularly affecting groups with low income
