In 2012, seven million people died worldwide because of air pollution. It is one of the most serious threats to public health, according to the World Health Organisation.VIDEOGRAPHIC
The Supreme Court heard arguments over federal pollution mandates. The EPA says its limits on toxic contaminants like mercury in power plant emissions are vital to human health, but energy producers are arguing the EPA didn’t take costs into consideration when the limits were created.

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.

The Times of India 2015-04-05Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or cause damage to the natural environment or built environment, into the atmosphere.
The atmosphere is a complex dynamic natural gaseous system that is essential to support life on planet Earth. Stratospheric ozone depletion due to air pollution has long been recognized as a threat to human health as well as to the Earth's ecosystems.
Indoor air pollution and urban air quality are listed as two of the world's worst pollution problems in the 2008 Blacksmith Institute World's Worst Polluted Places report.
A substance in the air that can cause harm to humans and the environment is known as an air pollutant. Pollutants can be in the form of solid particles, liquid droplets, or gases. In addition, they may be natural or man-made.
Pollutants can be classified as primary or secondary. Usually, primary pollutants are directly emitted from a process, such as ash from a volcanic eruption, the carbon monoxide gas from a motor vehicle exhaust or sulfur dioxide released from factories. Secondary pollutants are not emitted directly. Rather, they form in the air when primary pollutants react or interact. An important example of a secondary pollutant is ground level ozone — one of the many secondary pollutants that make up photochemical smog. Some pollutants may be both primary and secondary: that is, they are both emitted directly and formed from other primary pollutants.
i once adored a chemical reaction
her eyes were made from pieces of the moon
but now i fight the angels for a halo
she feels that she has nothing left to prove
we once owned dreams of being something useful
a sword someone would keep at their side
a friction that would spark a revolution
a radio in tune with the sky
well we tried
now everyone can share what's left
we can share a breath
we can share the air pollution
and we can all control the sun
that's what we'll become
you'll become a resolution
oh i adore a chemical reaction
her features look just like my disguise
we see the world through identical lenses
so i never ask what's going through her mind
it's mine
now everyone can share what's left
we can share a breath
we can share the air pollution
and we can all control the sun
that's what we'll become
you'll become a resolution
now everyone can share what's left
we can share a breath
we can share the air pollution
and we can all control the sun
that's what we'll become
