Nearly 2,000 children under five are dying every day from air pollution, overtaking poor sanitation and clean water as the second largest health risk for young children worldwide.
Dirty air has become the second leading killer globally, surpassing tobacco use, with PM2.5 particles causing over 90% of air pollution deaths, affecting organs and linked to various diseases.
Children in poor countries bear a significant burden, with under-five death rates from air pollution being 100 times higher in most of Africa than high-income countries.
