Air pollution bigger threat than dirty water: The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) report says that pollution will become biggest cause of premature death, killing an estimated 3.6 million people a year by 2050. Urban air pollution is set to become the biggest environmental cause of premature death in the coming decades, overtaking even such mass killers as poor sanitation and a lack of clean drinking water, according to a new report. Both developed and developing countries will be hit, and by 2050, there could be 3.6 million premature deaths a year from exposure to particulate matter. But rich countries will suffer worst effects from exposure to ground-level ozone, because of their ageing populations – older people are more susceptible. The warning comes in a new report of OECD, which is a study of the global environmental outlook until 2050.
The report found four key areas that are of most concern – climate change, loss of biodiversity, water and the health impacts of pollution.
