As the world becomes hotter and more crowded, our engines continue to emit dirty emissions, and half of the world lacks access to clean fuels or technologies, the air we breathe becomes dangerously polluted nine out of ten people now breathe polluted air, which kills 7 million people each year. Air pollution has significant health impacts it is responsible for one-third of all fatalities from stroke, lung cancer, and heart disease. This has the same impact as smoking cigarettes and is considerably stronger than the consequences of consuming too much salt. Air pollution is difficult to avoid, regardless of where you reside. It abounds everywhere around us. Microscopic pollution in the air can escape our body defences, entering deep into our respiratory and circulatory systems and causing damage to our lungs, heart, and brain. Climate change and air pollution are closely related the main cause of climate change is fossil fuel burning, which is also a major contributor to air pollution, and attempts to lessen one can enhance the other.
