Our World in Data (2014) CC
Indoor air pollution is one of the world's largest environmental problems – particularly for the poorest in the world, who often do not have access to clean fuels for cooking. The Global Burden of Disease is a major global study on the causes and risk factors for death and disease. The study estimates of the annual number of deaths attributed to a wide range of risk factors are shown here. This chart is shown for the global total but can be explored for any country or region using the "change country or region" toggle.
