ir pollution is one of the biggest killers across the world. Of course, no death certificate lists air pollution as the cause of death. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 4.2 million deaths occur globally each year because of ambient air pollution exposure. Research also shows that ambient air pollution accounts for one out of every 25 premature deaths.
Besides health implications, air pollution has a devastating impact on the environment and local and global economies. Although air pollution can come from domestic sources, the single largest air pollution source is from industries, whether industrial facilities, oil refineries, power plants, or factories. Emissions from the construction industry are a close second.
