Polarized air quality due to economic gap: WHO
- 6 years ago
Nine out of ten people around the world are exposed to polluted air... and about seven million people died due to air pollution last year.
The World Health Organization says air pollution is worse in under-developed countries, while big cities in rich countries improved their air quality between 2010 and 2016.
It says South Asia and South East Asia suffer the most from poor air quality.
The head of the WHO warned that sustainable development won't be possible if the world does not tackle the problem.
