Air quality: The impacts of UK university research
Williams, Ben
Authors
Abstract
Air pollution is the biggest environmental risk facing humanity in modern times. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), 7 million people died as a result of exposure to air pollution worldwide in 2012, equivalent to one in every eight recorded. The greatest burden was carried by countries in the South-East Asian and Western Pacific regions, where 3.3 million deaths were linked to indoor air pollution and a further 2.6 million linked to outdoor air pollution. In Europe, air pollution has contributed to approximately 400,000 deaths a year, and in the UK both PM2.5 and NO2 have been associated with more than 50,000 premature deaths a year.
