New research from Harvard University shows that air pollution was the cause of more than eight million deaths world wide in 2018. The data was published in the journal Environmental Research and shows that exposure to particulate matter from fossil fuels made up 18% of global deaths.

Areas with the highest concentration of fossil fuel pollution have the highest mortality rates, which are North America, Europe, and South-East Asia.

“Our study adds to the mounting evidence that air pollution from ongoing dependence on fossil fuels is detrimental to global health. We can’t in good conscience continue to rely on fossil fuels, when we know that there are such severe effects on health and viable, cleaner alternatives.”

Prior to this study, the most comprehensive study on deaths from air pollution put deaths from air pollution at four million. Previous studies analyzed data based on satellite information, which can often miss information.
