    This article:

    http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/jan/16/world-heslth-organisation-figures-deadly-pollution-levels-world-biggest-cities

    contains the line:

    "In Britain, where latest figures suggest that around 29,000 people a year die prematurely from particulate pollution"

    29,000? That's 10 times the number who died on 9-11.

    Also more than 16 times the number killed in road traffic collisions in 2014.
