Here’s what the United Nations has to say about “International Day of Clean Air for blue skies.”
The organization said that air pollution is the “single greatest environmental risk” to the well-being and health of us humans, as it is one of the leading causes of diseases and death.
Moreover, air pollution in developing countries unfairly affects children, women, and the older people that live under the low-income populace range. The matter was proven right via research as the people living in dense areas are more exposed to air pollution, indoor and outdoor.
