Air Pollution
The greatest health problem we face. The WHO reports that air pollution is now the largest, single, environmental health risk
The invisible killer
Air pollution is the daily harm we can’t see. An increasing risk to public health in urban areas, it affects us on our streets, in our homes, at our place of work and even as we travel. Harmful pollutants, like nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone (O3) can build up to levels that are dangerous for the health of everyone.
The human cost of air pollution
1 in 8 deaths
The World Health Organisation1 reports that air pollution is now the world’s largest single environmental health risk. In 2012 it found that one in eight global deaths were as a result of air pollution exposure.
Reduced life expectancy
Pollutants not only stay behind in your lungs they also enter the bloodstream and are dispersed throughout the body getting into all vital organs. Long-term exposure to NO2 has been directly linked to lung cancer, cardiovascular mortality2, as well as increasing the risk of respiratory problems3.
Environmental impact
Ozone (O3) is the main component of smog and greenhouse gasses. Some hydro-carbons, that contribute to O3, are considered toxic and can have a detrimental effect on asthma and other respiratory diseases.
Babies and children
Long-term exposure to NO2 has been directly linked to decreased lung function in school aged children, low birth weight of newborns4 and increased risk of respiratory problems5.
