Ambient (outdoor) air pollution

Outdoor air pollution is a major environmental health problem that affects everyone in low-, middle- and high-income countries. Outdoor air pollution in both urban and rural areas was estimated to cause 4.2 million premature deaths per year worldwide in 2019, due to exposure to fine particulate matter, which causes cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and cancers.

People living in low- and middle-income countries bear a disproportionate burden of outdoor air pollution, with 89% (of the 4.2 million premature deaths) occurring in these areas.
