Air pollution kills 7 million young people annually: WHO

Kathmandu. The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Wednesday that air pollution is currently the biggest environmental threat to human health, with 7 million people dying in a short period of time each year. The organization emphasizes the need for immediate action to reduce the risk of air pollution, with other human respiratory problems linked to smoking and unhealthy food.

WHO officials said, "All the guidelines on air quality are weak and we will take strict action to improve it." Millions of lives could be saved worldwide just by focusing on air pollution and a healthy diet. ”

"The purpose of the new law to control air pollution is to protect people from the adverse effects of air pollution, and governments will use this as a reference to legally binding standards."
