5. Air pollution will shorten the life expectancy of children born today by an average of 20
months and will have the greatest impact in south Asia, according to a study published
Wednesday. The State of Global Air report, published by the US-based Health Effects
Institute and the University of British Columbia, says air pollution is the fifth leading cause of
early death worldwide -- responsible for more deaths than malaria, road accidents,
malnutrition or alcohol. However it warns "the loss of life expectancy is not borne equally",
with children in South Asia set to have their lives cut short by 30 months because of a
combination of outdoor air pollution and dirty indoor air. In East Asia the study says air
pollution will shorten children’s lives by an estimated 23 months -- compared with around 20
weeks for children in developed parts of Asia Pacific and North America. The report, which
uses data up to the end of 2017, estimates that if air pollution levels were brought within
World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines Bangladesh life expectancy would see the
highest expected gain, at nearly 1.3 years. India, Nigeria, and Pakistan would all see average
life expectancy increase by around one year. Despite state reforms to reduce pollution levels,
China remains the country with the highest mortality rate due to air pollution, responsible
for around 852,000 pollution-related deaths in 2017. The top five countries with the highest
mortality rate due to air pollution were all in Asia: China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia and
Bangladesh.
6. British poet W. H. Auden once noted, “Thousands have lived without love, not one without
water.” Yet while we all know water is crucial for life, we trash it anyway. Some 80 percent of
the world’s wastewater is dumped—largely untreated—back into the environment, polluting
rivers, lakes, and oceans.
This widespread problem of water pollution is jeopardizing our health. Unsafe water kills
more people each year than war and all other forms of violence combined. Meanwhile, our
drinkable water sources are finite: Less than 1 percent of the earth’s freshwater is actually
accessible to us. Without action, the challenges will only increase by 2050, when global
demand for freshwater is expected to be one-third greater than it is now.
Sip a glass of cool, clear water as you read this, and you may think water pollution is a
problem . . . somewhere else. But while most Americans have access to safe drinking water,
potentially harmful contaminants—from arsenic to copper to lead—have been found in the
tap water of every single state in the nation.
Still, we’re not hopeless against the threat to clean water. To better understand the problem
and what we can do about it, here’s an overview of what water pollution is, what causes it,
and how we can protect ourselves.
7. Pollution is the introduction of harmful materials into the environment. These harmful
materials are called pollutants.
