More than 90 percent of people in the world breathe heavily in polluted air. More than seven million people die due to diseases caused by air pollution every year.
This information was released on Wednesday by the World Health Organization's (WHO) latest research report.
Which means that the air in almost every region of the world has been polluted. Although the real picture of the poorer countries is even more horrific
The chief of the United Nations healthcare firm, Teadros Sharim Gabriosos, said, "Air pollution has become a threat to all of us. But the poor and relatively marginal people are the most geographical. "
The WHO study examines the amount of air pollution both inside and outside the house and how dangerous it is to health.
Studies have found that 70 million people die every year due to the 'Diseases caused by subtle particles' in the polluted air. Most 90 percent of those who live in Asia and Africa, in low and middle income countries
"It's a very dramatic problem that we have to deal with," said Maria Nira, head of the WHO's Public Health and Environment Department at a press conference.
Due to severely polluted air, the fine particles of toxic chemicals like sulphate and black carbon enter into the lungs and heart. As a result, there are diseases like stroke, heart disease, lung cancer and pneumonia.
The WHO report specifically mentions the use of unsafe energy in cooking, it is one of the main reasons for air pollution inside the house.
More than 40 percent of the world's population cooks with coal or such contaminated fuel.
WHO Chief Pedro said: "There are still more than three hundred million people in the world breathing in the toxic smoke caused by the contaminated fuel used in cooking in their homes every day. Most of them are women and children. It can not be accepted in any way. "
