Air pollution inequality between the worlds Rich and Poor is getting worse as a new report from the World Health Organisation reveals seven million people die every year from airborne contaminants.

In 2012, one out of every nine deaths were from air pollution and the report reveals that in South and South-East Asia, more than 70% of poorer cities suffered worsening air quality.

The Americas were the only region where a majority of people breathe air that meets the W.H.O’s guidelines, where in Asia and the MIddle East it was close to zero.
