Developing Countries Facing the Major Health Issues from Air Pollution

  • Kanchan Gupta

Abstract

Many epidemiological studies globally have reliably recorded the detrimental effect of ambient air pollution on human health, and it has been estimated that at least seven million people die across the globe are due to the impact of air pollution yearly. A combination of thousands of elements is outdoor air pollution. Air pollution is now the greatest health danger to the atmosphere in the globe. Nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, and particulate matter are the main air pollutants released into the environment by a variety of natural sources and human activities.There is growing evidence, in addition to poor ambient air quality, that indoor air pollution also represents a significant threat to public health, particularly in low-income nations that still use biomass fuels as an energy resource. The largest vulnerability to indoor air pollution is among women and children living in extreme poverty. The latest information of urban air pollution in financially disadvantaged communities is outlined in this study.
