The majority of the world’s population breathes dirty air
forEngaluru, India – Tuesday’s report found that most of the world has dirty air, only 17 % of cities spare air pollution instructions worldwide.
The air quality control database in Switzerland analyzed data from 40,000 air quality monitoring stations in 138 countries and found that Chad, Congo, Bangladesh, Pakistan and India had the most air. India had six of the most contaminated cities in the industrial town of Bernah in northeastern India.
Experts said that the true amount of air pollution may be much greater because many parts of the world lack the monitoring of more accurate data. In Africa, for example, there is only one monitoring station for every 3.7 million people.
The report said that more air quality monitors are prepared to face the case. This year, reports authors have been able to integrate data from 8,954 new sites and about a thousand new monitors as a result of the efforts made to better monitor air pollution.
But last week, data control of air pollution was dealt with a blow when the US State Department announced that it will not teach its data from its embassies and consulates all over the world.

Fatima Haddah, chief scientist and air pollution experts at the Sunwai -based Senwai Center, said that breathing in the air contaminated over a long period of time can cause respiratory disease, Alzheimer’s and cancer. Global Health Organization Estimates Air pollution kills about 7 million people every year.
AHHAMAD said a lot to do to reduce air pollution levels. Who was I found earlier 99 % of the world’s population lives in places that do not meet the recommended air quality levels.
“If you have bad water, or water, you can tell people to wait for half an hour a day, the water will come. But if you have bad air, you cannot tell people to stop breathing.”
Several cities such as Beijing, torrents, South Korea and Ribnik in Poland have succeeded in improving air quality through strict regulations on pollution from vehicles, power and industry stations. They also strengthened cleaner energy and invested in public transport.

Another noticeable effort to reduce severe air pollution is the connection of the Convention on Southeast Asia to the contamination of transient fog. Although its limited success so far, ten countries in the region have pledged to work together to monitor pollution from large forest fires, which is common in the region during dry seasons.
Shawita Narayan, a leading campaign in the Global Climate and Health Alliance, said many areas that witness the worst air pollution are also places where the planet heating gases are widespread by burning coal, oil and gas. She said that lowering the emissions of the planet aimed at slowing the heating of the planet could improve air quality.
She said that air pollution and climate crisis are “two aspects of the same currency.”
