Air Pollution, its Health Consequences, and the Means of Combatting it

Does poor air quality kill 5.5 million people yearly? (10th item). If so, the public health investments put into combatting it are not commensurate with the size of the problem.

Among the starred items, begin with http://www.childsurvival.net/?content=com_articles&artid=3755, an exhaustive review on the impact of air pollution in poor and middle income countries. The final item has the reports of the Lancet Commission on household air pollution.

The difficulty with air pollution is not in defining the disease burden, but in planning and implementing specific interventions (2nd, 4th, and 7th items). As urbanization moves forward, the child is the victim of both household cooking fires and environmental pollution. Smoke-free policies, http://www.childsurvival.net/?content=com_articles&artid=2916 , are part of the solution.
