Polution
From the story that I read, there is a new study found that pollution is now the biggest killer in the world. One in six deaths worldwide is due to pollution. Most come from non-infectious diseases caused by pollution. These include heart disease, lung cancer and stroke. Approximately 92 percent of these deaths occur in low-income countries, such as India and China. Bangladesh and Somalia are the most severely affected countries.
Study co-author Karti Sandilya says air pollution is the biggest killer. Air pollution causes 6.5 million premature deaths. The second largest killer is water pollution, which causes 1.8 million deaths. The next biggest killer is pollution in the workplace, which is linked to 800,000 deaths worldwide.
