According to specialists from the World Health Organization, air pollution and carbon emissions kill more people than diseases like AIDS, TB, and malaria combined.
In the World Health Organization report “The Annual Index for Life and Air Quality 2022,” the experts indicated that air pollution may result in more deaths each year than wars and is more detrimental to average ages around the world than smoking.
Experts urged swift international action to improve air quality on Earth’s surface and lower the amount of stuck pollutants in the atmosphere brought on by the burning of fuel and hydrocarbons, noting that doing so would provide “healthy health security for humanity” from respiratory illnesses, haematological conditions, and other conditions that cause an estimated 7 million deaths globally each year.
According to a World Health Organization report, 99% of the world’s population breathes air that does not meet the organization’s safety and quality standards. It also noted that Southeast Asia and the eastern Mediterranean have the lowest air quality in the world due to the high concentration of nitrogen dioxide in urban areas, which was first discovered in the organization’s 2018 survey.
The study noted that due to carbon emissions, the air on Earth is currently so polluted that each person’s age is reduced by 2. 2 years. Each year, air pollution causes the deaths of 36,000 Britons in Britain.
The research encouraged nations to reduce their yearly fossil fuel consumption by 20% in order to protect the environment and human health.
World Health: AIDS and malaria are the planet’s two most fatal air pollution-related diseases.
