$\textit{Effect of Pollution on people }$

We release a variety of chemicals into the atmosphere when we burn the fossil fuels we use every day. We breathe air to live and what we breathe has a direct impact on our health.

Over 100 million years of healthy life are lost every single year as a result of air pollution. On average, that’s the same as 1 year and 8 months of healthy life lost for every single person on Earth.

Air pollution is the world’s 4th most lethal killer

Air pollution is the cause of 8.9 million deaths globally every year. That means that every 4 seconds, someone somewhere on the planet dies from air pollution. The UN has called air pollution the world’s worst environmental health risk. Air pollution is also the world’s 4th most lethal killer (following malnutrition, unsafe sex, and the lack of safe, clean water and sanitation).

Air pollution from car exhaust affects human reproduction

If pregnant women are exposed to air pollution from car exhaust, it can alter the structure of the chromosomes in the fetus and increase the risks of cancer and various birth defects.

Air pollution and climate change closely linked

The main cause of air pollution as well as climate change (CO2-emissions) is the burning of fossil fuels (oil, coal, gas). A change to greener alternatives such as solar or wind power will therefore help both the climate and human health.
