Study: air pollution caused 1.1M deaths across Africa in 2019, toll from outdoor pollution rising

Green Car Congress

We focused on these three countries because they are all at somewhat different points in their economic development, and we reasoned that comparing air pollution patterns among them would give us a good indicator of future trends. Air pollution was responsible for 1.1 —Philip Landrigan.
