As the earth gets hotter and thicker, our engines continue to emit polluted air, and part of the world has no access to clean fuel or technology (e.g. stoves, lamps), the very air we breathe grows dangerously polluted: nine to ten people now breathe polluted, deadly air 7 million every year. The health effects of air pollution are devastating - one third of all deaths from stroke, lung cancer, and heart disease are due to air pollution. This has the same effect as smoking, and it is much higher than, if we may say, the effects of eating too much salt. a major impact on air pollution - and efforts to reduce one can improve the other. This month, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has warned that coal-fired power should end by 2050 if we are to reduce global warming by 1.5C. If not, we could see a major climate crisis in just 20 years. Meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change could save the lives of nearly one million people worldwide each year by 2050 by reducing air pollution alone. Economic benefits from tackling pollution are significant: of the 15 countries that emit the most polluting emissions, the health impacts of air pollution are estimated to be more than 4% of their GDP. In our hospitals and lungs. The health burden of fossil fuels is now so high that moving to clean and sustainable energy supply, transportation and food systems pays for itself, ”said Health.The lack of visible smoke does not indicate that the air is healthy. Worldwide, both cities and towns are experiencing toxic pollution beyond the annual average recommended by air quality WHO guidelines. To help people better understand how polluted the air is in their environment, WHO, the UN Environment and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition's Breathe Life campaign have developed an internet pollution meter. This year, the WHO and its partners host the first World Spirit Summit. Pollution and Health in Geneva on 29 October - 1 November to encourage the world to commit itself to a commitment to fight this problem. The conference will raise awareness of the growing public health challenge and share information and tools on the health risks of air pollution and its interventions. The forum has a diverse membership that includes researchers, civil society organizations, UN agencies and other partner institutions reviewing air quality and health quality data. For example, the field works on strategies to more accurately identify air pollution from various sources of pollution. It also works to improve air quality measurements by combining data from various air quality monitoring networks, atmospheric modeling and satellite remote sensing. Ozone is a major factor in causing asthma (or worse), as well as nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide and causes asthma respiratory, bronchial symptoms, pneumonia and reduced lung function. Along with the impact on our health, air pollution also causes long-term environmental damage by driving climate change, in itself a major threat to health and well-being.Air pollution is very fast to attack the heath.
