Air pollution Air pollution is the presence of substances in the air that are harmful to humans, other living beings or the environment. Pollutants can be gases, like ozone or nitrogen oxides, or small particles like soot and dust. Both outdoor and indoor air can be polluted. Outdoor air pollution comes from burning fo...

Air pollution kills 7 or 8 million people each year. It is a significant risk factor for a number of diseases, including stroke, heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and lung cancer. Particulate matter is the most deadly, both for indoor and outdoor air pollution. Ozone affects crops, an...

Carbon monoxide Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and toxic gas. [49] It is a product of combustion of fuel such as natural gas, coal, or wood. In the past, emissions from vehicles were the main source of CO, but modern vehicles do not emit much of it. Now, wildfires and bonfires are the main source of ou...

million newborn deaths, a quarter of overall deaths. [87] The source of PM 2.5 differs greatly by region. In South and East Asia, pregnant women are frequently exposed to indoor air pollution because of wood and other biomass fuels being used for cooking, which are responsible for more than 80% of regional pollution.
