Report on Pollution and Climate Change The World Health Organization (WHO) report on the greatest health risks to the planet's population during the New Year.
On the ground, nine out of ten people breathe polluted air, causing direct damage to the lungs, heart and brain diseases and killing 7 million people each year, the report says.
The WHO added that 90% of deaths due to pollution-related illnesses occur in countries with moderate or low incomes due to high pollutant emissions.
According to the report, climate change will increase the number of deaths in the world by 250,000 more between 2030 and 2050.
Noncommunicable diseases
According to the WHO report, noncommunicable diseases rank second among diseases related to smoking, high alcohol consumption, unhealthy diets and obesity.
These diseases cause 41 million deaths a year, says the report.
Pandemic flu
The report warned that a wave of large-scale influenza pandemic is inevitable without specifying its strength or timing.
According to the report, in many developing countries, public health institutions will not be able to cope with the spread of influenza, as necessary.
The United Nations is working with 153 institutions in 114 countries to quickly detect the spread of the epidemic.
Drought, famine and displacement
Drought, famine and fragile living conditions resulting from displacement during armed conflicts and civil wars ranked fourth among the most dangerous threats to human life.
The WHO says more than 1.6 billion people live in areas that suffer from long-term crises, leaving the population without adequate medical care.
Antibiotic microbes
The ability of bacteria and viruses to fight against antibiotics is increasing, accelerating the pace of researchers' development of their drugs.
TB has been singled out for its ability to fight antiretroviral drugs, killing 10 million people and killing 1.6 million people each year.
Tuberculosis has withstood the treatment of nearly 600,000 cases in 2017, according to the report.
