Getting rid of cars that use gas and replacing them with electric ones would have major health impacts.
That’s what the American Lung Association found in a study.
Will Barrett worked on the project, and he says in Wisconsin, about 73 premature deaths would be avoided. More than 1,100 asthma attacks would be prevented.
In 2050, the study shows the public health benefits would amount to more than $834 million. It would also prevent nearly 5,000 lost workdays.
