The Lancet Commission on Pollution and Health

The Lancet Commission on Pollution and Health highlights how pollution—from air, water, soil, and chemicals—poses a major threat to public health worldwide. It shows that pollution causes millions of deaths annually and leads to chronic illnesses like respiratory and heart diseases. The report emphasizes that reducing pollution can save lives, improve well-being, and protect our environment. Addressing pollution requires coordinated efforts from governments, industries, and communities to implement cleaner practices, stronger regulations, and policies aimed at preventing exposure and promoting healthier living conditions globally.
