Air Pollution Kills 2 million world wide prematurely annually

From NeinuclearNotes | 2006

As of the timeline mentioned, according to WHO, air pollution kills 2,000,000 annually prematurely!  WHO therefore urged nations to adhere strictly to pollution standards - to curb sulfur dioxide emissions and particulate matter (the solid in the pollutants that stick to your throat and lungs)

This would help reduce incidence of respiratory infections, lung cancer, heart diseases and other respiratory tract diseases.  The lessening of air pollution would cause lesser impact of climate change.
