Paper Brief Details

8.1 million deaths in 2021 due to air pollution; 2.1 mn in India

  • 20/06/2024

Air pollution contributed to 8.1 million deaths worldwide in 2021, with India and China recording 2.1 million and 2.3 million fatalities, respectively.

Published by the Health Effects Institute (HEI), an independent US-based research organisation, in partnership with UNICEF, the report also highlighted that air pollution claimed the lives of 1,69,400 children in India under the age of five in 2021.

The report said nearly 50% of all ozone-related chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) deaths in 2021 were recorded in India (2,37,000 deaths), followed by China (1,25,600) and Bangladesh (15,000).

More than 90% of these global air pollution deaths — 7.8 million people — are attributed to PM2.5 air pollution, including from ambient PM2.5 and household air pollution.

These tiny particles, measuring less than 2.5 micrometres in diameter, are so small they remain in the lungs and can enter the bloodstream, affecting many organ systems and increasing the risks for noncommunicable diseases in adults such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
