It’s worse than cigarette smoking. It’s worse than wars. It’s worse than auto accidents.
The World Health Organization estimates that
roughly 7 million people die every year from “exposure to fine particles in
polluted air.” That’s at
least double the number of people who died globally from
Covid in 2020, and more
than five times the number of people killed every year in
car crashes. The more proximate
causes of the pollution deaths include pneumonia,
stroke, and heart disease. The economic costs of pollution are also massive:
one estimate puts it at nearly
$3 trillion a year, more than 3 percent of global GDP. Andrea La
Nauze again.
