Air pollution has serious negative health effects and is a silent killer according to the document. It discusses how 92% of people live in areas that exceed WHO air quality guidelines. Poor air quality increases risks of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases as well as cancer. The document argues individual and government actions can help reduce air pollution levels and protect health.

2. INTRO
Air pollution is an invisible killer
that affects us all, but do we really
understand its effects on our
health? Let's explore the dangers of
air pollution and how we can take
action to protect ourselves.

3. - Air quality is measured by the Air
Quality Index (AQI), which evaluates
five major pollutants: ground-level
ozone, particle pollution, carbon
monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and
nitrogen dioxide.
CONTEXT
3
- According to the World Health
Organization, 92% of the world’s
population lives in places where air
quality exceeds WHO guidelines.

4. Poor air quality has serious health
consequences, including increased risk of
respiratory and cardiovascular diseases,
stroke, cancer, and premature death.
We can think of air pollution as a silent
killer, slowly eroding our health without us
even knowing it.

EVIDENCE
Studies have shown that long-term
exposure to air pollution can lead to an
increase in hospital admissions for heart and
lung diseases.
In addition, air pollution has been linked to
an increased risk of asthma and other
respiratory illnesses in children.

6. Some may argue that air pollution is not a
major concern, or that it is impossible to
reduce air pollution levels significantly.

CONTREARGUMENTS
However, there are many actions that
individuals and governments can take to
reduce air pollution, such as reducing car
emissions, switching to renewable energy
sources, and planting trees.

7. It is important to understand the
implications of air pollution on
our health, and to take action to
reduce air pollution levels.
We must act now to protect
ourselves and future generations
from the dangers of air pollution.
IMPLICATIONS
7

8. - The city of Beijing provides a good example of
the impact of air pollution on human health.
- In 2013, the AQI in Beijing reached
hazardous levels, leading to an increase in
hospital admissions for respiratory and
cardiovascular diseases.
CASE STUDY

9. 9
- If we continue to ignore the dangers of air
pollution, the health of future generations
will be at risk.
FUTURE
- We must take action now to reduce air
pollution levels and protect our health.

10. Air pollution is a silent killer that affects us
all, and we must take action to reduce air
pollution levels and protect our health.
