According to the World Health Organization, Air pollution is the world's biggest environmental health risk, causing at least one in eight deaths around the globe.
The new estimation significantly increases the threat posed by air pollution and has dire health implications for countries such as India, where pollution load is high and public health infrastructure underdeveloped. WHO had last year ranked Delhi as the most polluted among 1,600 cities across the world, worse than Beijing which had previously held the dubious tag.
WHO's assessment points to a huge surge in disease burden and deaths due to air pollution exposure. Deaths due to air pollution, which include outdoor as well as indoor pollution, have increased four-fold across the globe over the past decade, the latest data shows. While the total number of deaths due to air pollution is pegged at 8 million every year, data shows that China and India are by far the worst affected countries.
Of the 8 million deaths globally, 3.7 million are from outdoor or ambient air pollution, the data shows. Around 88% of premature deaths due to air pollution exposure occurred in low- and middle-income countries, and the greatest number in the western Pacific and south-east Asia regions.
According to International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), outdoor air pollution is carcinogenic to humans. The agency, specializing in cancer research, has found evidence that exposure to outdoor air pollution causes lung cancer as well as there is association with an increased risk of bladder cancer.
