Air pollution-caused deaths

Slide Content

The slide presents a statistical breakdown of air pollution-caused deaths by disease. The information is illustrated in a pie chart format. The largest segment, at 40%, is attributed to ischaemic heart disease, underscoring the significant impact of air pollution on heart health. Another 40% is shared by contusions and lacerations, indicating trauma as a comparable cause. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease accounts for 11%, spotlighting its relevance in air pollution-related mortality. Lung cancer and acute lower respiratory infections in children represent 6% and 3% respectively, emphasizing their smaller but notable shares.
