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.
