The latest 'State of Global Air 2024' report reveals that air pollution is a major global health crisis, responsible for 8.1 million deaths worldwide in 2021. Among these, 2.1 million deaths occurred in India and 2.3 million in China. The report highlights that nearly 2,000 children under the age of five die every day due to air pollution, which has now surpassed poor sanitation and lack of clean water as the second biggest health risk factor for young children globally. In India alone, an estimated 1.6 lakh children under five may have died due to air pollution or related causes in 2021. Additionally, air pollution killed 8 million people in 2021 and was responsible for nearly 464 deaths of children under five in India. The report emphasizes the urgent need to address air pollution to protect children's health.
