but i am pleasantly surprised that Germany has also seen a 90% decline in death rate(it can’t be seen on the graph,but you can check the source)
the current rate in Germany is **0.01 deaths per 100.000 inhabitants** per year( **or 1 death per 9-10 million inhabitants/year)**
**let that sink in,1 death per 10 million people/year**
**my brain finds it hard to process**
it blows my mind how effective safety regulations and engineering can get
Carbone monoxide poisoning from unmaintenanced stoves or heaters?
edit: u/trolls_brigade put it right: it’s about fumes, not just CO.
Now I want to see whether there is a correlation with a possible drop in consumption of onions and beans in Romania.
My grandma who had wood stove as the main method of heating her house died of lung cancer.
That stove would eat pretty much anythig, chopped wood of course, but also newspaper, carboard packaging and similar. I can’t believe that daily burning of colour print magazines was particularly healthy, regardless of how good the chimney system is.
Having said that, freshly baked jacket potatoes from that stove are some of my fondest memories.
I digress but I am glad to see this graph.
No-one was accurately measuring “death rates from indoor air pollution” (whatever that means) in Romania for most of the ’90s and probably also throughout the 2000s, even now I wouldn’t trust any official data on that sort of thing. Fuck it, we’ve barely managed to count our Covid-related deaths properly, sort of, after a scandalous start (when we weren’t counting them properly).
Where does that data come from, more exactly? A website on the internet?
