Environmental Risks Killing 12.6 million People

Nearly one in four deaths is linked to unhealthy environments and are avoidable, a new World Health Organization study—the first major assessment of environmental risk since 2006—has shown. It suggests that environmental risks now contribute to more than 100 of the world’s most dangerous diseases, injuries, and kills 12.6 million people a year. Of these, two-thirds or 8.2 million deaths are from non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as strokes, cancers, and heart illnesses, showing a significant rise in 10 years. While the number of deaths from infectious diseases, including diarrhoea and malaria, have fallen since 2006, those from NCDs linked to indoor and outdoor air pollution, climate change and exposure to synthetic chemicals have increased.
