Unsafe Air Pollution

  Sort of an oxymoron - unsafe air pollution.

Science Daily: 92% of the world’s population exposed to unsafe levels of air pollution
summary - A new WHO air quality model confirms that 92% of the world's population lives in places where air quality levels exceed WHO limits. Some 3 million deaths a year are linked to exposure to outdoor air pollution. Indoor air pollution can be just as deadly. In 2012, an estimated 6.5 million deaths (11.6% of all global deaths) were associated with indoor and outdoor air pollution together.
