Air Pollution Causes More than 6 Million Deaths Worldwide

Updated: 08 Feb 2013

For the last three weeks, residents of Beijing have been breathing thick, soupy air so choked with pollutants that it has registered far off the scale of acceptable levels. Yet places like Beijing or New Delhi, India, which has also had extremely unhealthy air quality levels, are far from the only cities to be plagued. Air pollution affects practically everyone on the planet and causes more than 6 million premature deaths every year, according to the World Health Organization. Yet, this insidious and long-standing issue really only generates headlines when it hits extreme levels. ABC News correspondent Gloria Riviera reports that levels in Beijing averaged 300 on the Air Quality Index (AQI), a whopping 280 points over what WHO says is good, clean air. Optimal AQI is just 20. Explosive economic growth in China means factories are going full tilt 24/7 and millions of people are able to own cars for the first time. China has minimal environmental standards in place. The new pollution over Beijing provoked the Chinese government, for the first time, to issue an emergency warning about the air. People were told to stay indoors, some factories were shut down, and about a third of government cars were ordered off the roads. "There are many places around the world where air pollution represents a major public health issue," said Dr. Maria Neira, director of the Department of Public Health and Environment at WHO, in an interview with Christiane Amanpour. "But we don't have a ranking because many of the cities around the world, even those expected to have high levels of air pollution, don't have a regular or routine system to measure air quality." WHO's recommendation is to initiate monitoring, particularly of particulate matter, which is one of the best indicators of pollution for health impacts. The health hazards of air pollution vary, often based on how long and to how much a person is exposed. Acute effects include pneumonia, while in the long term it can lead to emphysema, lung cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Children, the elderly and those with already comprised immune systems are particularly susceptible. The types of pollution vary as well. WHO makes a distinction between indoor and outdoor air pollution. "Indoor air pollution mostly affects developing countries," said Neira. "Half the world still relies on solid fuels like wood for heating and cooking. It's inefficient and damaging to health and causes 3.5 million premature deaths every year." By contrast, outdoor air pollution affects emerging and developed countries and prematurely kills 3.3 million people every year, because of pollution from industrial uses and manufacturing, and energy inefficiency. Neira noted that worldwide there is major interest and awareness of the problem of air pollution and the knowledge that links air pollution to health consequences. And though there have been improvements in policy recommendations, there has been a lag in results and improvements in public health. "We need to take very dramatic decisions, especially in the big cities, where they are planning now for urban development," said Neira. "There are certainly very good ways to have industrial development and protect the health of the environment. When you start to plan a city, you must include health criteria." Some of her recommendations include promoting more sustainable public transportation and clean technologies that will filter pollution from industrial production. "The moment we take interventions, even very quickly, you will see an impact on the health of the people," said Neira. "Good results can be obtained with rapid interventions that are now available." And there is an additional benefit to reducing air pollution. Many of the factors contributing to global warming, such as black carbon, are also major air pollutants. "If you take interventions in climate change, you will have a benefit in air pollution and vice versa," said Neira.

CHINA AIRPOCOLYPSE - Air Pollution is So Bad in China, Kills 500,000 People Each Year

SUBSCRIBE for more on CHINA AIR POLLUTION / FUTURE / HUMANITY / AGENDA 21 / NEW WORLD ORDER http://www.youtube.com/AgendaNWO CHINA AIRPOCOLYPSE - Air Pollution is So Bad in China, Kills 500,000 People Each Year Between 350,000 and 500,000 Chinese die prematurely each year because of the country's disastrous air pollution, says China's former health minister The equivalent of the population of Bristol dies each year in China because of lethal air pollution, according to Chen Zhu, who was the country's Health minister until last year. Mr Chen, who is also a professor of medicine and a leading molecular biologist, is the most senior government official to put a human cost on the smog that regularly clouds Chinese skies. Until recently, any mention of deaths relating to pollution was strictly censored. Mr Chen's claim came in a commentary in December's issue of the Lancet, co-written with Wang Jinnan, Ma Guoxia and Zhang Yanshen from the Ministry of Environmental China's smog blamed for child's lung cancer Chinese state media boasts of benefits of pollution Chinese city of Harbin shrouded in smog China invests £235 billion to tackle pollution Pollution pushes Shanghai towards semen crisis "Studies by the World Bank, WHO, and the Chinese Academy for Environmental Planning on the effect of air pollution on health concluded that between 350 000 and 500000 people die prematurely each year as a result of outdoor air pollution in China," Mr Chen and his fellow authors noted. He added that air pollution has become "the fourth biggest threat to the health of Chinese people" (behind heart disease, dietary risk and smoking) and that lung cancer is "now the leading cause of death from malignant tumours in the country". Mr Chen said China "now produces the largest number of major pollutants in the world", and accounts for half the world's coal consumption. The estimate that the authors quoted, however, is lower than the 2010 Global Burden of Disease Study, also published in the Lancet, which estimated that airborne particles smaller than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5) caused 1.2 million premature deaths in China in 2010 alone. Mr Chen's commentary said the Chinese government has now enacted "tough measures" in order to fight the smog. "According to research results from the Chinese Academy for Environmental Planning, 200,000 people will be prevented from dying prematurely each year if the annual level of PM in Chinese cities reaches the first level standard of 40 micrograms per cubic metre, as set out in the newly revised China National Ambient Air Quality Standards," he wrote. Smoking remains the leading cause of lung cancer, but the number of smokers is falling while lung cancer rates are still rising.

Schools and highways were closed, and many flights were canceled. Now China has a smog belt that extends from Beijing all the way to Shanghai. It took a little more than three years to build up the high speed railway that connects Beijing and Shanghai, but it took less than two years for smog to spread from Beijing to Shanghai. At this rate, the nationalization of smog will be accomplished in even less time. pm2.5 quality of life health alert population density greenpeace green peace A couple in protective masks walk under haze in Shanghai, China, Friday, Dec. 6, 2013.

Univ100: Air Pollution The issue in this video is air pollution. The air we are now living in has become very dirty and contaminated due to the exhaust of vehicles which contributes to global warming because it affects our ozone layer. This is very harmful to us humans who are breathing the air because it can cause very harmful illnesses which can lead to serious problems or even death. Since it affects everyone, our target is everyone in the world from all ages. Anyone who gets to see the video and hopefully gets something out of it, some sort of realization. The purpose of this video is to warn people that air pollution can be a real harmful situation not just to us, but to Earth itself. People need to start making changes now because if the Earth gets over polluted then how are we supposed to live green and breath fresh air in the future? We will not be able to; worse than that, we will not even make it to the future due to air pollution can lead to death. Work Cited : Beam, Sarah. "Air Pollution: Darkening Doorsteps."Environment, 46.6 (2004): 8. According to this scholarly article, air pollution rises because the sun cannot reach the Earths surface. Every year the sunlight transmittion is interfered. Many scientists around the world have been looking for evidence to support their theory by the way. Over the past half centure, there has been a past half'-century. We also have a lot of controversies which now it is more jackets from jobs we had to put out. Bernstein,Jonathan A, I. Leonard Bernstein, Neil Alexis, Charles Barnes, Andre Nel, David Peden, David Diaz-Sanchez, Susan M Tarlo, and P. Brock Williams. "Health Effects of Air Pollution."The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 114.5 (2004): 1116-1123. This awares us of air pollution which causes respiratory effects. Gaseous and outdoor people can aggravate the underlying pathophysiology of either one the higher or the lower airway. They have studies and tested in the laboratory that investigate the advantages and disadvantages of us people. Their studies have shown rates of asthma and so on which shows how bad air pollution can be. Air pollution can even cause a disease because it is not healthy for you to be breathing air which is not cleaned. "Health Effects of Air Pollution: 1."Yakima Herald - Republic, (2004): A.1-A-1. This newspaper informs us that carbon monoxide is what is in wood smoke. It is invisible and odorless but yet it is so very dangerous. It can cause many bad effects on the human body. The children are the ones who have a higher danger in getting affected by it. The babies also have died due to it. Many others can get diseases, cancer, heart pain, lung problems, throat and eye irritations. Many might think this is nothing big but in reality it is. It is something which is slowly killing us all without us even knowing it. Mack, Wendy J. "Ambient Air Pollution and Atherosclerosis in Los Angeles." U.S. National Library of Medicine, 22 Feb. 2004. Web. 07 Nov. 2013. They have found a long term part of air pollution. The more the damages air is. They usually affect the lungs or the eyes. People who have been breathing it for a long amount of time is that they are all sick. Everyone who breathes anything, the sooner they get sick or die. . Air pollution does not seem so bad , but it can be something really serious and I can be pretty that day. O'Driscoll,Cath. "'Seeing' Toxic Pollutants' Effects.(Air Pollution)(Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Experimental Medicine)."Chemistry and Industry, 11 (2010): 12. In this magazine we learn that air pollution really affects out skin and our lungs. Cells can also be investigated easily. To study the cell it takes a few steps. Sample imparity has also been a result of reactions between gas and culture medium. There is also now a gas which separates both which is the PRIT method.
