3. “The risks from air pollution are now far
greater than previously thought or
understood, particularly for heart disease
and strokes,”
says Dr Maria Neira, Director of WHO’s
Department for Public Health, Environmental
and Social Determinants of Health.
“Few risks have a greater impact on global
health today than air pollution;”
