GENEVA (AP) — The U.N. health agency says nearly everybody in the world breathes air that doesn’t meet its standards for air quality, calling for more action to reduce fossil-fuel use, which generates pollutants that cause respiratory and blood-flow problems and lead to millions of preventable deaths each year.
WHO said 99 percent of the global population breathes air that exceeds its air-quality limits and is often rife with particles that can penetrate deep into the lungs, enter the veins and arteries, and cause disease. Air quality is poorest in WHO’s Eastern Mediterranean and Southeast Asia regions, followed by Africa, it said.
“After surviving a pandemic, it is unacceptable to still have 7 million preventable deaths and countless preventable lost years of good health due to air pollution,” said Dr. Maria Neira, head of WHO’s department of environment, climate change and health. “Yet too many investments are still being sunk into a polluted environment rather than in clean, healthy air.”

Reset. Cut the population by 90%. Done.
There are a lot of oxygen thieves out there for sure.
Most of the “rest of the world” burns wood and animal dung for fuel. Got nothing to do with “fossil fuels.”
WHO is nuts.
They’d better get back to pushing COVID fear porn. They are better at that.
In a perfect world the air would be perfect.
The world has never been or ever will be perfect, I wish they’d stop crying about it.
What a bunch of BS.
Stop red meat, reduce your driving, turn off AC units, use public transportation, support Zelenskyy and Biden.
I think I know where WHO is taking us on this one. We’re going to all have to wear GAS MASKS.
WoW? Talk about two-faced sumbiches......
After their COVID plandemic, they have ZERO credibility.
IF they said the sky is blue, one had better go outside and double check...twice, because these communist azzholes are nothing but a bunch of corrupt liars and frauds.
Then, wouldn’t that be average quality air?
Who says 99% of world’s population breathes poor-quality air?
More Centralized gummit is the only cure.
Looks like the entire world lives in Lake Woebegone where everybody breathes below average air.
“WHO says 99% of world’s population breathes poor-quality air”
Oh goody goody. Here come the Climate Change Police to save us ... oh wait ... new world order????
The translation is that the migration of the world population to megacities is self governing.
Hyperdense city populations produce unhealthy air
And........ if a communicable disease gets lose......... very bad news.
If they’re counting indoor air, Marijuana smoke can kill you and yours:
“Having no-pot-smoking laws, like no-tobacco-smoking laws, is essential to protect people from the harms of secondhand marijuana smoke, she said.
“We want to make sure that nonsmokers are not unfairly exposed to harmful products,” Hallett said. “We also don’t want to build another generation addicted to tobacco or cannabis products.”
