Air Pol lution• Major environment-related threat• Outdoor & indoor• Second-hand tobacco & certain outdoor
pollutants→Infections• Biomass fuel→
global burden of disease• OUTDOOR: combustion of fossi l fuels in cit ies• INDOOR: cooking and heating→smoke

Urbanization
• Result of population migration from rural areas
• 2007 world‘s population in urban areas was higher than 50%
• 800,000 annual deaths from urban air pol lution, 1,2 Mill . From road-traffic accidents, 1,9 Mill . From physical inactivity & 1,5 Mill . From indoor air pol lution

chemicals• Education• Interaction between energy pol ic ies , c l imate
change and health

"We are guilty of many errors and many faults, but our worst crime is abandoning the children, neglecting the foundation of life. Many of the things we need can wait. The child cannot. Right now is the time his bones are being formed, his blood is being made and his senses are being developed. To him we cannot answer "Tomorrow". His name is "Today"." Gabriela Mistral, 1948
