Air Pollution is Killing People

Hello, Everyone !!

As time goes by, the air pollution is being more serious problem. We all know that it will be worse than now.
Do you know how bad the pollution is in the Earth, and how the pollution effect to our life?
Have you ever thought that people are dying because of air pollution?
I found an interesting article, “Air pollution killing over two million annually, study says,” in CNN, Cable News Network.

The article link is below:

This article was in Going Green which is a series of special programs on CNN international reporting on some of the world’s most environmental issues.

In the article, Mattew Knight is saying that air pollution is effecting people's dying. According to a new study, people are dying every year because of the effects of outdoor air pollution, and the climate change does not impact much on effects of air pollution. Also, the worst affected areas are in East Asia. It has several examples based on statistics in studies.

The studies are new, but it is reliable information source since the article is in major broadcast company CNN. The information this article is giving could be too much, but it is understandable and believable. 
The air pollution is not killing people directly, but the pollution effect on people to get a disease with more chance.

I actually did not think that the air pollution is this much serious, so people could die because of air pollution, but it is very serious problem. After reading this article, I realized that the air pollution is more serious than I thought.

Air pollution is an important problem for everyone in the world for the future and one of the important environmental risk factors for health. Therefore, we need to try to keep our environment clean. It is not easy to make it cleaner than now, but we all should put our effort to keep our environment clean for our future after we are all gone.
