Chandigarh: An international team of researchers has examined the sources and health effects of air pollution to find that the deaths of 1.05 million people in 2017 could have been averted if we had eliminated fossil fuels everywhere – and as many as half of them just by not burning coal.
The researchers examined the sources and health effects of air pollution around the world, as well as in 200 countries and sub-national regions. The dominant sectors responsible for air pollution were residential (19.2% of PM2.5 burden), industrial (11.7%) and energy (10.2%).
