Volkswagen has sold 2.6 million cars in Germany during 2008-2015, those cars are bearing less efficient emission standards, due to which it is causing pollution.

As per the source, it is manipulated that this pollution may cause 1200 premature deaths in Europe, 500 in Germany, Poland, France and the Czech Republic.

Steven Barrett, associate professor at MIT, while talking about the estimation said, "Air pollution is very much transboundary. Pollution doesn't care about political boundaries; it just goes straight past. Thus, a car in Germany can easily have significant impacts in neighboring countries, especially in densely populated areas such as the European continent."
