00:28Welcome to the National Anthem
00:39I was diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma, of which pollution is one of my triggers when
00:45I was 14 as a runner and someone who really believes in the benefits of physical activity.
00:52I don't want to be encouraging people to get out if the air that they're breathing isn't
00:56clean and healthy and comes with its own negative side effects.
01:05It's not just for respiratory diseases, lung-related. The particles we are breathing, they go into
01:13our bloodstream and from there they can reach any organ. And our brain is the one that now
01:19we are developing more and more knowledge about how air pollution is affecting our brain,
01:25declining cognitive capacity and then even involved as well on neurodegenerative diseases
01:33like Parkinson, Alzheimer or dementia. So I think it's very important to be aware of that
01:39because the measures we can take will clean the air but it will clean as well the hospital
01:46emissions and the number of deaths we have every year due to air pollution.
02:00By 2023 we were estimated to be one of the cities with the most death attributable to the air pollution.
02:09actions being taken and new zones which limits specific vehicles and which limits heating of your home with burning were
02:20introduced and the results are already present.
02:25We have reduced the air pollution in Bulgaria. Of course not by the rate that we wish and future work
02:32is needed but significant enough to say that those measures working.
02:36We have reduced the air pollution in Bulgaria.
02:47Unfortunately it's only three months per year and definitely it should be the whole year around because the pollution by
02:57traffic is every month and we see very little seasonality.
03:03So it doesn't matter whether it's winter or summer the pollution by cars is very very strong.
03:24If people knew that this is not just an environmental issue, it's not just an economic issue, it's much more
03:31than that it's a huge public health challenge that we need to face.
03:37Otherwise the consequences are not only the almost 8 million deaths we have every year but it's the number of
03:45diseases that the pollution is causing, the cost that this represents for the health system and the fact that we
03:52are losing a lot of opportunities to create a healthy development.
03:56That means that this is nand girls數 to have to be left to achieve moreufano, things that not most of
04:02our bodies are being exposed as typical...
04:08Then you don't have to be an economic issue over a physical object, you don't have a physical habit, you
04:09can understand that we have to survive or faster and less develop a physical object...
04:10That is because it happens now once a year when you stopering with the dialogue, you'll never ever stop focusing
04:10on itself or demanding, you'll never stop, you tell us...
04:10Then you start off when itießen safely, and you're able to see the movement David's personal response to the moment
04:10that it never adds up...
04:10En streakly or even if there aren't supposed change the message to be into, and especially at the moment of
04:13the group's apartment system, fast.
