According to the new values, one of the three worldwide was subjected to domestic air pollution in a year. Domestic air pollution contains small particles that can reach blood flow through the lungs.
A new study reveals it Domestic air pollution causes the death of millions of people every yearDespite the fact that exposure levels are reduced around the world. According to the published analysis Medical Magazine ‘The Lancet’In 2021, domestic air pollution, kerosene, kerosene, coal, wood, crop residues or fertilizer foods, which are cooked with open fire or kitchen foods, contribute to 3.1 million deaths worldwide, most of which are in low -income countries.
The Atmospheric pollution Home It contains small particles that can reach blood flow through the lungs. Therefore, it is associated with a series of health problems such as lung cancer, cerebral leas, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, chronic preventive lung disorder (COPD), respiratory infections, cataract and newborn disorders.
This can also have fatal consequences for children, as it is associated with the deaths of over 500,000 children within 5 years of 2021, the study found. It refers to 11% of the deaths of children under 5 years of age. “A major reason for the excessive amount of child load worried in this study“, The authors of the report promoted by the US -based health matric and assessment agency (IHME) The effects of hygiene They are “death and durable, and not getting enough attention from researchers and political leaders.”
Regional differences related to the quality of the wind
Between 1990 and 2021, people’s percentage fell from 56.7% to 33.8% for domestic air pollution to cook from solid fuels worldwide. However, The actual number of people exposed was reduced only by 10% (About 350 million people), in 2021, exposed 2,670 million people.
This is caused by population growth in places like sub -Sahara Africa78.8% of people emerged Domestic air pollution From cooking solid fuels, the authors of the study report.
Between 1990 and 2021, the number of related deaths Pollution This has increased from 685,000 to 741,000 in the region, the IHME. South Asia recorded the following highest rate, and 53.2% exposed in 2021. In the meantime, In Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia, that rate was 7.5%. Of high -income countries, it is only 0.4%.
According to researchers, the results underline the importance of helping “some resources” in their change ” Energy sources Cleaner. This includes research and development of new technologies.
“These efforts are important to alleviate health hazards and promote stable growth; Eventually improves the quality and health of millions of people“The authors of the study published in the medical magazine ‘The Lansett’ in 2021.
