Air Pollution Kills Two Million People Each Year
2013-07-18 15:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: According to newly published research, more than 2 million people die around the world each year as a result of outdoor air pollution. The study, published in Environmental Research Letters, found that these deaths are caused by fine particulate matter released by human activities, primarily burning fossil fuels like coal and oil in electricity generation, industry and transportation. An additional 470,000 die prematurely each year as a result of ozone pollution. The study concluded that East...
Air pollution kills over 2 million people each year
2013-07-16 18:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New Scientist: Hold your breath. Air pollution kills more than 2 million people worldwide every year. By using climate models to simulate what air pollution was like in 1850 and 2000, Jason West at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his colleagues have estimated its effect on current death rates. The team links ozone to about 470,000 deaths per year from respiratory disease; increases in particulates - fine particles that penetrate the lungs - are behind 2.1 million deaths from heart and lung...
Air pollution killing over two million annually, study says

CNN: More than two million people are dying every year from the effects of outdoor air pollution, according to a new study. An estimated 2.1 million deaths are caused by anthropogenic increases of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) while a further 470,000 are killed annually as a result of human-caused increases in ozone pollution. Jason West, co-author of the study published in the journal of Environmental Research Letters said: "Outdoor air pollution is an important problem and among the most important...
Air pollution 'an invisible killer'
2013-07-15 18:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Outdoor air pollution is estimated to contribute to more than two-and-a-half million deaths each year, a study has suggested. It calculated that, each year, 470,000 people died as a result of ozone and 2.1 million deaths were linked to fine particulate matter. Air pollution increased respiratory and heart disease risks, with the young, elderly and infirm most vulnerable. The findings appear in the Environmental Research Letters journal. "Epidemiological studies have shown that ozone and...
