Air Pollution Statistics

	More than 3,000 Canadians die each year due to radon exposure? It’s the second leading cause of lung cancer, among other health issues. That's nearly five times as many as there are murders each year in Canada.
	More than 15,000 Canadians die each year due to air pollution. That's like losing the entire BC grizzly bear population.
	Diesel exhaust negatively affects 400 genes in a person’s DNA.
