Pollution linked to one in six deaths (20 Oct 2017)
"Pollution has been linked to nine million deaths worldwide in 2015, a report in The Lancet has found.
Almost all of these deaths occurred in low- and middle-income countries, where pollution could account for up to a quarter of deaths. Bangladesh and Somalia were the worst affected."

The results were the product of a two-year project. The authors have published an interactive map illustrating their data.
