According to a study in Singapore, changes in the weather have increased deaths due to poisonous air by about 14 percent. Also, in the last 40 years, about 13 crore people have died worldwide. Most of these deaths have occurred in Asia.
According to a study by Singapore University, between 1980 and 2020, a total of 135 million people have died due to air pollution across the world. According to the report, in these 40 years, incidents like carbon emissions, forest fires have killed such a large number of people.
Singapore's Nanyang Technological University made another claim while making public the information related to this research. Researchers believe that El Nino and other weather-related reasons have also made the effects of air pollution more dangerous.
As soon as air pollution is mentioned, the topic of PM 2.5 naturally comes up. This is also mentioned in the study. According to the report, PM 2.5 i.e. small particles along with poisonous air enter the body through the breath and then cause great harm to health.
Diseases are becoming incurable
The report says that people are losing their lives at a very young age due to air pollution. The real problem caused by pollution is that the life expectancy rate of infected people is decreasing.
In such a situation, heart attack, lung disease, cancer and other diseases are becoming more fatal due to air pollution. Diseases which could be treated are becoming incurable due to the bad effects of air pollution.
Asian countries are in bad shape
According to a study by Singapore University, most deaths due to PM 2.5 have occurred in Asia. Nearly 10 crore people have lost their lives in Asia. In this too, most deaths have occurred in China and India.
Apart from India and China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Japan have also seen large scale premature deaths. The number of people who died in these countries is between 20 lakhs to 50 lakhs.
The most subtle and important point of the study is that changes in the weather have increased the deaths due to toxic air by about 14 percent.
