Air Pollution Deaths

The study showed that coupled with air pollution, high temperatures as well as metabolic disorders, fuelled a significant rise in global cases and deaths due to stroke in the last three decades.

There is no conclusive data available in the country to establish direct correlation of death/disease exclusively due to air pollution, Minister of State for Health Anupriya Patel told the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday.

Short-term air pollution exposure claimed 33,000 lives annually in 10 cities in India and Delhi tops the list with 12,000 deaths every year, according to a study published on Thursday in The Lancet Planetary Health.

More than seven percent of all deaths in 10 of India's biggest cities are linked to air pollution, a large study said Thursday, leading researchers to call for action to save tens of thousands of lives a year.

Nearly 33,000 deaths in 10 cities in India every year can be attributed to air pollution levels that are below India's national clean air threshold. The report has been published in Lancet Planetary Health.

Nearly 2,000 children die every day from health problems linked to air pollution, which is now the second biggest risk factor for early death worldwide, a report said Wednesday.

Nearly 2,000 children under five years old die every day due to air pollution, a new report has revealed. That also makes air pollution the second leading cause of death in this age group worldwide after malnutrition.

Air pollution contributed to 8.1 million deaths worldwide in 2021, with India and China recording 2.1 million and 2.3 million fatalities, respectively, according to a report released on Wednesday.

Pollution from man-made emissions and other sources like wildfires have been linked to around 135 million premature deaths worldwide between 1980 and 2020, a Singapore university said Monday.

Air pollution, world's top environmental health risk, causes diseases, loss of healthy years, and preventable deaths.

Outdoor air pollution from all sources accounts for 2.18 million deaths per year in India, second only to China, according to a modelling study published in The BMJ.

Almost 400,000 deaths in Europe in 2021 were related to three main air pollutants and some could have been avoided if pollutants had been reduced to World Health Organisation-recommended levels, an EU report said on Friday.

The cardiologist wrote that air pollution is an important and under-recognised risk factor for cardiovascular events.

Higher levels of air pollution were also linked to a higher risk of death from stroke, according to the researchers.

There is no conclusive data available to establish a direct correlation of death or disease exclusively due to air pollution, Minister of State for Health Bharati Pravin Pawar told the Lok Sabha on Friday.
