The World Health Organization has declared air pollution a public health emergency, with 92% of the global population living in areas where air quality levels are unsafe. This results in 3 million deaths annually. Major pollution sources include inefficient transport, waste burning, power plants, and industrial activities. Personal accounts highlight the severe health impacts, such as difficulty breathing. Harmful particles like sulfates, nitrates, and soot pose significant health risks, particularly affecting the cardiovascular system. Data from over 3,000 locations show that 90% of pollution-related deaths occur in low and middle-income countries.
