Is air pollution as bad for us as smoking? Is the growing economy affecting our health?
Only 12% of people in the world live in cities which meet WHO air quality standards, and acute effects of air pollution have caused lung illness symptoms, heart issues, hospitalisations and death. Long term effects include reduction in lung growth of children and adolescents, reduced lung function in adults, cardiovascular disease and lung cancer. It is a global problem, with ambient air pollution in cities and rural areas estimated to cause 3.7 million premature deaths worldwide in 2012.
