Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) recognises that
environmental pollution is a major cause of global disease,
death and disabilities with a toll greater than that caused by
HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined. About 94%
of pollution-related deaths occur in low-income and lower
middle income countries; for example, childhood pneumonia
and diarrhoeal diseases are directly linked to environmental
pollution.
