Air pollution takes 70 lakh lives every year
According to the report of the World health Organization (WHO), about millions of people die every year due to environmental causes, of which more than 7 million lose their lives due to air pollution alone. In the new data released by the World health Organization, it has been confirmed that almost everyone living around the world is breathing polluted air.
