Clearing The Air

Globally, 19,000 people die each day from air pollution - more than HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and car accidents combined - and science is only beginning to reveal its wide-ranging effects. With insights from the scientists and politicians leading the battle against it, and the stories of people whose lives have been affected by it, this book tells the full story of air pollution for the first time: what it is, which pollutants are harmful, where they come from, and what we can do about them.
