Air pollution is the fourth greatest overall risk factor for human health worldwide. Latest estimates
attribute 6,5 million premature deaths to air pollution . Among the major air pollutants, fine particulate
matter is the most damaging to human health, and sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides and ozone are
associated with a range of illnesses.In addition to human health,air pollution poses risks to the
environment, the economy and food security.
Air pollutants arising from human activity overwhelmingly derive from energy production and use, mainly
the combustion of fossil fuels and biomass.
Poor air quality is often regarded as an urban problem.Yet poor air quality also affects many rural
communities, particularly where households continue to rely on solid biomass cooking and kerosene for
lighting.
As the predominant source of air pollution, the energy sector must be at the forefront of action to
improve air quality around the world. A range of proven policies and technologies are available to do so.
Energy efficiency and post combustion treatment technologies generally mean that pollutant emissions
have risen in line with very rapid growth in energy demand seen in recent years.No jurisdiction can claim
that the task of tackling air pollution is complete.
