New Scientist: Hold your breath. Air pollution kills more than 2 million people worldwide every year. By using climate models to simulate what air pollution was like in 1850 and 2000, Jason West at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his colleagues have estimated its effect on current death rates. The team links ozone to about 470,000 deaths per year from respiratory disease; increases in particulates - fine particles that penetrate the lungs - are behind 2.1 million deaths from heart and lung...

An estimated 2.1 million deaths are caused by anthropogenic increases of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) while a further 470,000 are killed annually as a result of human-caused increases in ozone pollution. Jason West, co-author of the study published in the journal of Environmental Research Letters said: "Outdoor air pollution is an important problem and among the most important...

Air pollution 'an invisible killer'
2013-07-15 18:35:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Outdoor air pollution is estimated to contribute to more than two-and-a-half million deaths each year, a study has suggested. It calculated that, each year, 470,000 people died as a result of ozone and 2.1 million deaths were linked to fine particulate matter. Air pollution increased respiratory and heart disease risks, with the young, elderly and infirm most vulnerable. The findings appear in the Environmental Research Letters journal. "Epidemiological studies have shown that ozone and...
