Air Pollution Is Becoming More Dangerous


Story at-a-glance

Nine million premature deaths were caused by pollution in 2015, which is 16 percent of deaths worldwide

Both indoor air pollution, particularly from household cooking and burning wood for heat, and outdoor pollution, including from coal-fired power plants and vehicle emissions, were problematic
