Study: 1 in 6 Deaths Worldwide Caused by Pollution in 2015


Deadly Pollution We all know that pollution, in general, is harmful to human health. That’s roughly 9 million people. Of these 9 million annual deaths, 92% occur in less wealthy nations, signaling an obvious socioeconomic divide. According to the study, pollution causes approximately 16% of all deaths worldwide — a figure that is 15 times larger than deaths caused by war and violence. Besides causing the deaths of millions, pollution has also been affecting our planet in other ways: it has even sparked lightning storms.
