Deaths related to contamination have become the 4th<\/sup> highest worldwide.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

95% of the planet’s population breathes unhealthy air.<\/p>\n

However, there are countries were long-term exposure to air pollution is contributing to many deaths, according to the annual State of the Global Air Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just in 2016, over 6 million deaths<\/a> were contributed to lung disease, lung cancer, heart attacks and strokes related to contamination, becoming the 4th<\/sup> highest cause of death worldwide after smoking, high blood pressure and a poor diet.<\/p>\n

According to the study, Afghanistan, which is where most people die from pollution, has such a high death rate per 100,000 inhabitants from polluted skies that they are more likely to die from that than from insurgent attacks or strikes.<\/p>\n

Pakistan, India, Nigeria, China, Saudi Arabia. Russia, Germany, U.K., United States, Japan, and Canada complete the list of most age-standarized deaths per 100,000 people attributed to pollution.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Pollution is not only for people on the outside<\/strong><\/h3>\n

According to the\u00a0World Health Organization (WHO)<\/a>, around 3 billion people on Earth cook and heat their homes using solid fuels, for example: wood, coal and crop wastes.<\/p>\n

This, however, makes them vulnerable to the dangers, as the combination of incomplete combustion and lack of ventilation leads to very high levels of exposure to dangerous particles.<\/p>\n

Just in 2016, a total of 2.45 billion people \u2013approximately one in three global citizens\u2013 were exposed to household pollution from the use of solid fuels.<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0State of Global Air Report<\/a>, India and China \u2014 with 43% and 30%, respectively, of their populations using solid fuels \u2014 had the largest numbers of people exposed to household air pollution in 2016: 560 million in India and 416 million in China.<\/p>\n<\/div>
