Air Pollution - A Leading Cause Of Mortality

Air pollution is one of the world’s largest health and environmental problems. It develops in two contexts: indoor (household) air pollution and outdoor air pollution.

Air pollution is one of the leading risk factors for death and its impacts go even further, also being one of the main contributors to global disease burden. Globally we see that in recent decades the death rates from total air pollution has declined: since 1990 death rates have nearly halved. But, as we see from the breakdown, this decline has been primarily driven by improvements in indoor air pollution. Death rates from indoor air pollution have seen an impressive decline, whilst improvements in outdoor pollution have been much more modest.

In order to diversify my portfolio and create awareness among the audience, I have tried to create an interactive report in the public domain, showcasing the detailed analysis on how much air pollution attributes to overall global mortality and mortality rate due to air pollution.
