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.
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.
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.
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.
Estimates for the three risk factors (i.e., ambient air pollution, household air pollution and joint of both) are available by country / group (i.e., global, SDG regions, WHO regions and World Bank income levels), year, sex, 5-yr age groups and disease cause.
Outdoor air pollution is a risk factor for several of the world's leading causes of death, including stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, and respiratory diseases, such as asthma.2 In the chart, we see that it is one of the leading risk factors for death globally.
