Air Pollution

Air pollution is a major environment-related health threat to children and a risk factor for both acute and chronic respiratory disease as well as other diseases. Around 2 million children under five die every year from acute respiratory infections. Many are aggravated by environmental hazards.

Protection from Air Pollution

    Good ventilation, clean fuels and improved cooking stoves decrease indoor air pollution and the exacerbation and development of acute respiratory infections.

    • Protecting children from smoking and from second-hand tobacco smoke reduces the risk of respiratory disorders and other ill-health effects later in life.
    • Use of unleaded gasoline reduces lead exposure in children and prevents developmental disorders.
    • Sound transport and health policies reduce respiratory illness and unintentional injuries in urban children.
    • Realization of clean air implementation plans reduces the exposure of children to outdoor air pollution.
