From Yahoo News/ ABC News February 7, 2013
The latest stats from WHO as featured in Yahoo/ ABC News reports now that there are 6 million premature deaths attributed to air pollution. It used to be just 2,000,000 a year in 2006. It has now gone up 3x. China alone contributes 1.2 million (up from 700,000 in 2007!)
This was told by Dr. Maria Neira Director of Public Health and Environment in an interview with Christiane Amanpour of ABC News.
Air Pollution really kills; what do we do then?

So do we have air pollution as weapon of mass destruction in MM?
This site would like followers and leaders to be aware of air pollution and how it impacts our lives and health. We seem to be uncaring about this growing serious problem which we know is there but we do nothing. Shall we wait for air pollution to be as serious as in Beijing? When do we act?
