Fossil fuels cause the death of 5 million people in the world every year

Air pollution in the world kills 8 million people every year. Meanwhile, 61% of deaths occur directly due to the use of fossil fuels.

According to Tekna technology and technology news service, a recent report on air pollution shows that fossil fuels and the pollution caused by their consumption cause the death of 5 million people a year. Meanwhile, the current statistics show a much higher figure than the previous statistics.

An international team of scientists announced in a study that eliminating fossil fuels can play an effective role in increasing people's health. The data released at the United Nations Climate Change Conference caused the world leaders to make important decisions under great pressure. These decisions will be based on the gradual elimination of fossil fuels. The gradual elimination of fossil fuels and its replacement with clean fuels and renewable energies can save many lives from death in addition to dealing with global warming.

In the conducted study, a new model was developed to estimate deaths caused by air pollution related to fossil fuels. Data related to fine particles and population data from NASA satellites show that many deaths are caused by atmospheric chemistry and air dispersion.

Air pollution is the reason for the death of about 8 million people in the world, of which 61 percent, or about 5 million people, died due to the consumption of fossil fuels.
