“A new study from the United Nations says rising air pollution is taking a growing toll globally,”
causing millions of premature deaths and major economic losses worldwide. If yours learns summer has more. Cars, trucks, and power plants that burn fossil fuels put tiny particles into the air. That can cause serious health problems, like asthma, heart attacks, and lung disease. A new report from the United Nations Environment Program finds that in 2025, air pollution
caused about six million premature deaths worldwide.
It also causes major economic losses. By 2050, a third of the world's population will be exposed to dangerous air. The report finds that can be avoided by investing in renewable energy, electric cars, and better agricultural practices, which it says could produce $15 in benefits for every $1 invested, more in summer, and PR news.
