Scientists used mathematical models to estimate the effects of fine particulate matter, such as soot, and ozone, the main component of smog.

West and his colleagues concluded that about 470,000 people die each year from ground level ozone, produced by human industrial activities.

Authors concluded that an additional 2.1 million deaths were caused by fine particulate matter resulting from human activity. Many of these common particles have long been linked to cancer and a number of respiratory diseases.

Yeah, particulates are a big problem. Far bigger than the nuclear industry - weapons, power or other uses of radioactivity.
