WHO estimates say air pollution is responsible for over a million premature deaths worldwide every year.
Short-term exposure to major air pollutants seems to increase heart failure risks
This is the finding from a review of data collected in 12 countries published in The Lancet Wednesday, a medical journal.
The study found that a modest dip in the levels of fine particulate matter found in exhaust fumes and industrial air pollutants could prevent about 8000 heart failure hospitalisation s and save more than $300 million in the US alone.
