56 Conclusions There is huge evidence on detrimental effects of air pollution Throughout the world, particulate air pollution is estimated to cause 3.1 million deaths a year. In 2005, more than 16 million of Italian residents were exposed to annual PM2.5 levels above 25 µg/m 3, we estimated 34,552 (CI 95% 20,608-43,215) annual premature deaths attributable to PM2.5. The largest impact was in Northern Italy, especially in the Po Valley (
