Air pollution is responsible for millions of deaths each year
Air pollution – the combination of outdoor and indoor particulate matter and ozone – is a risk factor for many of the leading causes of death, including heart disease, stroke, lower respiratory infections, lung cancer, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), in its Global Burden of Disease study, provides estimates of the number of deaths attributed to the range of risk factors for disease.1 In the visualization, we s...
Air pollution is one of the leading risk factors for death. But its impacts go even further; it is also one of the main contributors to the global disease burden. Global disease burden takes into account not only years of life lost to early death but also the number of years lived in poor health. In the visualization, we see risk factors ranked in ...
Death rates from air pollution are highest in low-to-middle-income countries
Air pollution is a health and environmental issue across all countries of the world but with large differences in severity. In the interactive map, we show death rates from air pollution across the world, measured as the number of deaths per 100,000 people in a given country or region. The burden of air pollution tends to be greater across both low and middle-income countries for two reasons: indoor pollution rates tend to be high in low-income countries due to a reliance on solid fuels for c...
Death rates from air pollution are falling – mainly due to improvements in indoor pollution
In the visualization, we show global death rates from air pollution over time – shown as the total air pollution – in addition to the individual contributions from outdoor and indoor pollution. Globally, we see that in recent decades, the death rates from total air pollution have declined: since 1990, death rateshave nearly halved. But, as we see from the breakdown, this decline has been primarily driven by improvements in indoor air pollution. Death rates from indoor air pollution have seen...
2024年6月25日 · WHO identifies and monitors air pollutants that have the greatest impact on people's health. This, in turn, supports countries in focusing on the most effective way to prevent or reduce health risks. WHO reviews and analyzes scientific evidence and uses expert advice to draw conclusions on how air pollutants affect health.
Whom does air pollution affect the most? Air pollution affects everyone’s health, but certain groups may be harmed more. Almost 9 out of 10 people who live in urban areas worldwide are affected by air pollution. NIEHS-funded research indicates there are racial or
2020年6月3日 · The potential health effects of air pollution range from subtle physiological changes inside the body to florid symptoms such as nose and throat irritation, shortness of breath, coughing and chest tightness. People suffering from asthma or chronic respiratory diseases will experience an increase in symptoms when exposed to air pollutants.
2021年9月7日 · Air pollution is the greatest environmental threat to public health globally and accounts for more than 8 million premature deaths every year. Air pollution and climate change are closely linked as all major pollutants have an impact on the climate and most share common sources with greenhouse gases.
