air pollution exposure and the resulting burden
of disease.

Air pollution has become a growing concern in
the past few years, with an increasing number
of acute air pollution episodes in many cities
worldwide. As a result, data on air quality is
becoming increasingly available and the
science underlying the related health impacts is
also evolving rapidly.

noncommunicable diseases. Only one person
in ten lives in a city that complies with the WHO
Air quality guidelines. Air pollution continues
to rise at an alarming rate, and affects econo
mies and people’s quality of life; it is a public
health emergency.

Interventions and policies for tackling air pollu
tion issues exist and have been proven to be
effective. The implementation of WHO resolution
WHA68.8, which maps out a road map for en
hanced global responses to the adverse effects
of air pollution, provides an essential framework
