This article quantifies the effects of pollution. To generalize, pollution is responsible for 16% of all deaths globally,
“Pollution, which us at the root of many diseases and disorders that plague humankind, is entirely preventable”(Lanphear).Moreover, negative effects of pollution disproportionately kills low income people (with 92% of deaths occurring in low income countries). This shows a link between money and environmental issues; leading countries should do their part and switch over to eco-friendly energy (seeing as third world countries may not have the resources). As more nations move towards sustainability more will follow. Lastly, this percentage is projected to increase if nothing is changed. Therefore, we should continue to encourage innovations in sustainability.
