24 Οκτ 2024 · Ambient (outdoor) air pollution in both cities and rural areas was estimated to cause 4.2 million premature deaths worldwide per year in 2019; this mortality is due to exposure to fine particulate matter, which causes cardiovascular and respiratory disease, and cancers.
Applying this fraction to the background disease burden occurred in the population (e.g. Ischaemic heart disease expressed in terms of deaths or DALYs), gives the total number of deaths or DALYs that can be attributed to air pollution.
25 Νοε 2021 · 4.2 million die prematurely every year from outdoor (ambient) air pollution. 3.8 million die from indoor air pollution. 7 million die in total from all sources of air pollution. You will notice that the WHO estimates the total death toll to be lower than the sum of indoor and outdoor pollution deaths.
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).
20 Δεκ 2022 · We focus on studies that report global excess deaths from chronic exposure to ambient PM 2.5 and ambient ozone, together termed the exposure to ambient air pollution.
WHO monitors the exposure levels and health impacts (i.e. deaths, DALYs) of air pollution at the national, regional and global level from ambient (outdoor) and household air pollution. Such estimates are used for official reporting like the world health statistics, and the Sustainable Development Goals.
18 Ιουν 2024 · The report includes data for more than 200 countries and territories around the world, indicating that nearly every person on earth breathes unhealthy levels of air pollution every day, with far-reaching health implications.
