A new crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace has found that pollution is now the world's biggest killer. One in six crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace worldwide is because of pollution. This is 16 per cent of all crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace deaths. Most of these deaths were from non-infectious crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace caused by pollution. These include heart disease, crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace cancer and stroke. The study was published in the medical crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace 'The Lancet'. Researchers said most pollution-related deaths occurred in crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace countries. About 92 per cent of these deaths were in low-income nations, crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace countries where there is a lot of economic development, crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace as India and China. Bangladesh and Somalia were the worst affected countries. Brunei and Sweden had the crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace numbers of pollution-related deaths. Study co-author Karti Sandilya said: "Pollution, poverty, poor health, and social crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace are deeply intertwined." He added: "Pollution threatens fundamental human crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace , such as the right to life, health, crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace , and safe work." He said air pollution was the biggest killer. Air pollution led to 6.5 million crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace deaths. The second biggest killer was crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace pollution, which caused 1.8 million deaths. The next largest killer was pollution in the crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace , which was linked to 800,000 worldwide deaths. Scientist Dr Penny Woods said: "Air pollution is reaching crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace point." She said the people who pollution hit the crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace are those with breathing and lung crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace , children and the crisis deaths diseases elderly especially global hardest injustice journal lowest lung poorer premature problems rights study such water wellbeing workplace .
