Pollution was responsible for nine million deaths worldwide in 2019, experts said.
Air, chemical and water pollution accounted for one in six deaths worldwide, with little progress on tackling the public health crisis in four years, a new study found.
The findings, an update to the Lancet Commission on Pollution and Health, showed that despite declines in some risks, pollution still led to nine million early deaths in 2019 - a figure unchanged since 2015.
Pollution is the world’s largest environmental risk factor for disease and premature death, the report published in the Lancet Planetary Health warned.
The number of deaths linked to pollution associated with extreme poverty such as unclean water, a lack of sanitation and household air pollution from burning fuels such as wood for cooking and heating have fallen.
