Pollution in Asia is one thing that people are really starting to become concerned about. Not only is it harming the environment around them, it is changing the weather and climate around the globe. The impact of pollution is much more severe in developing countries leading to many health issues, death, and disabilities annually. “At every point and in every level of development, countries need to make choices between often conflicting goals. Developing countries desire to ensure energy for all at a competitive price to achieve and sustain economic growth and poverty reduction. The energy poverty experienced in these regions has been linked with the high level of income and non-income poverty in the regions. In their desire to develop and improve the standards of living of their citizens, these countries will opt for the goals of economic growth and cheap energy for all” …show more content…
The most common one is car exhaust. The main ingredient to air pollution is particulate matter (PM), PM is what gives smog it’s murky color and it is the biggest health threat to humans, as it can get very deep into your lungs. Another one that many people are familiar with being that they know the harms that it can do is carbon monoxide (CM). CM is a harsh chemical that if inhaled for too long can kill you instantly. It is odorless, colorless, and deathly. It is formed by the combustion of fossil fuels in gas and is emitted through cars and trucks. All of these chemicals that are being emitted into our atmosphere are all adding to the global climate change issue that is evolving around the world (Cars, Trucks, and Air Pollution). Outdoor pollution like the types above are most of the reason that over 7 million premature deaths each year. Though there are a lot of premature deaths, there are also many that are not. About 40% of air pollution caused deaths are from ischemic heart disease, 40% is from strokes, 11% is from chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, 6% is from lung cancer, and the last 3% is from acute lower respiratory infections commonly found in
