Did you know that the air you breathe can harm your brain, and increase your risk for dementia, anxiety and depression?
Nine out of 10 people around the world breathe air that does not meet WHO’s recommended air quality standards.
Air pollution kills 7 million people every year.
Air pollution is an urgent, invisible threat – linked not just to lung disease but also stroke, heart disease, dementia, anxiety and depression.
Children are most at risk: their lungs are still growing, they breathe faster, and they spend more time outdoors.
Tiny particles can reach deep into the lungs and the brain.
