POLLUTION AND HUMAN HEALTH

Over the last three decades there has been increasing global concern over the public health impacts attributed to environmental pollution, in particular, the global burden of disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about a quarter of the diseases facing mankind today occur due to prolonged exposure to environmental pollution.

With this rate of pollution, many severe issues such as Global Warming and depletion of ozone layer etc.
