Air Pollution is now the #2 global risk factor linked to deaths in children under 5 years old after malnutrition. Over 70% of these deaths take place within the first month of a baby’s life. Tragically, most of these deaths occur in Sub Saharan Africa and South Asia. We must reduce overall emissions for the health of our children. There are many sources of air pollution that are dangerous to children, including household air pollution, high-density traffic, waste-related burning, industrial air pollution, second-hand smoke, wildfire smoke and dust storms. To save lives, we need to prioritize children’s environmental health and address the sources of air pollution.
