2019年化学周 - Types of Pollution
Air Air pollution is the single biggest environmental health risk, causing roughly 7 million deaths annually. Short-lived pollutants – which include black carbon, methane, ozone, and airborne particles produced by industrial operations and the burning of diesel, coal, kerosene or biomass – are responsible for about one-third of deaths from stroke, chronic respiratory disease and lung cancer and one-quarter of deaths from heart attack. These pollutants are also contributing to global warming, lowering labour productivity, and increasing food insecurity around the world. Different types of air pollution: Indoor (household) air pollution caused by cooking stoves, heating and lighting. More than 3 million people use solid fuels and open fires for cooking and heating. Outdoor (ambient) air pollution caused by emission from power generation, transport, industrial furnaces, brick kilns, wildfires, agriculture, dust and sand storms. 90 out of 193 countries do not have vehicle emission
