"Polluted Air Affects 92% Of Global Population, Says WHO"

"Some 92% of the population live in places where air pollution exceeds WHO limits, which can contribute to lung cancer, heart disease, and strokes.

The south-east Asia and western Pacific regions account for nearly two out of every three such deaths, it said, with poorer countries 'getting worse'.

Around three million deaths every year are linked to outdoor air pollution."

BBC News had the story September 27, 2016.
