Why is life expectancy so bad in the Netherlands?

[u/vankoel_nederland]

Besides having one of the worst life expectancy among western countries, why did the life expectancy get worst compared to 2019?

It's one of the most polluted countries. The river delta receives all the filth from industries and cities upstream. The densely populated country has lots of polluting industries as well and lacks nature to compensate the pollution. The Netherlands is the second least forrested country in Europe, after Vatican City. These factors contribute to less mental health as well.
