Air pollution: According to a study by Singapore University, deaths due to climate change and toxic air have increased by 14 percent. In addition, about 130 million people have lost their lives worldwide in the last 40 years. Most of these deaths occurred in Asia.
According to a study by Singapore University, a total of 135 million people have died worldwide due to air pollution between 1980 and 2020. According to the report, in these 40 years, incidents like carbon emissions, forest fires have killed such a large number of people.
Singapore's Nanyang Technological University has made another claim while making public the information related to this research. Researchers believe that El Niño and other meteorological factors have also made the effects of air pollution more dangerous.
As soon as air pollution is mentioned, the topic of PM 2.5 naturally comes to mind. This has also been mentioned in the study. According to the report, PM 2.5 i.e. small particles of poisonous air enter the body through the breath and then cause great harm to health.
The report says that people are losing their lives at an early age due to air pollution. The real problem caused by pollution is that it is reducing the life expectancy rate of people infected by it.
In such a situation, heart attack, lung diseases, cancer and other diseases are becoming fatal due to air pollution. Diseases which could be treated are becoming incurable due to the ill effects of air pollution.
According to a study by Singapore University, most deaths due to PM 2.5 have occurred in Asia. About 10 crore people have lost their lives in Asia. In this too, most deaths have occurred in China and India.
Apart from India and China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Japan have also seen large scale untimely deaths. The number of deaths in these countries is between 20 lakhs and 50 lakhs.
