 According to the World Health Organisation, every year 4.2 million people die as a result of exposure to outdoor pollution.3.8 million people die every year due to the exposure of smoke and fuels from the household. Every day the world is getting more hotter, polluted and crowded, no matter how much the world is improving in the field of technology and Science. The adverse effects of these are horrifying.91% of the world population lives in areas where air quality exceeds WHO guideline limits. And in 2016, the majority of outdoor air pollution-related deaths occurred in Asia. PM2.5 (Particulate matter), they are nothing but tiny particles that are two and a half microns or less in width. These particles are so tiny that once it enters our lungs, our bodies cannot filter them leaving these harmful particles in your body which can cause various diseases like Asthma and lung cancer. These are invisible killers that kill thousands every day. They come from car, trucks exhausts, other operations that involve the burning of fuels such as heating oil or coal, naturally by grass fires. PM2.5 is also produced from common indoor activities like tobacco smoke, cooking, burning candles and operating fireplaces. It is shocking to hear that companies like Vitality Air-a Canadian setup has already started in selling air and pure oxygen and yes, it is in high demand in smog filled China for example. In the last hundred years the average temperature of the earth has risen by 1 ¡ÆF and in the next century, it may rise by about 2 ¡Æ-6 ¡Æ. This will lead to global warming |
