Polluted air is a public health hazard that cannot be evaded.It is widely known that long-term exposure to air pollution enhances the risks of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry and the University Medical Center Mainz now calculated in a new study that the global,public loss of life expectancy caused by air pollution is higher than many other risk factors such as smoking,infectious diseases or violence.
空氣污染是一個無法回避的公共健康危害。眾所周知，長期暴露在空氣污染中會增加心血管和呼吸系統(tǒng)疾病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。
(Max Planck Institute for Chemistry)和(University Medical Center Mainz)的科學(xué)家們在一項(xiàng)新的研究中計(jì)算出，空氣污染造成的全球公眾預(yù)期壽命損失比吸煙、傳染病或暴力等許多其他風(fēng)險(xiǎn)因素都要高。
Air pollution caused 8.8 million premature deaths worldwide in 2015.This corresponds to an average reduction in life expectancy per capita of 2.9 years.In comparison,tobacco smoking reduces the life expectancy by an average of 2.2 years(7.2 million deaths),HIV/AIDS by 0.7 years(1 million deaths),parasitic and vector-borne diseases such as malaria--by 0.6 years(600,000 deaths)."Air pollution exceeds malaria as a cause of premature death by a factor of 19;it exceeds violence by a factor of 17 and HIV/AIDS by a factor of 9.Given the huge impact on public health and the global population,one could say that our results indicate an air pollution pandemic,"said Jos Lelieveld,director at Max Planck Institute for Chemistry and first author of the study.
2015年，空氣污染導(dǎo)致全球880萬人過早死亡。這相當(dāng)于人均預(yù)期壽命平均減少2.9歲。相比之下，吸煙使預(yù)期壽命平均減少了2.2歲(720萬人死亡)，使艾滋病毒/艾滋病減少了0.7歲(100萬人死亡)，使瘧疾等寄生蟲和病媒傳播疾病減少了0.6歲(60萬人死亡)�！翱諝馕廴緦�(dǎo)致的過早死亡是瘧疾的19倍;它比暴力高出17倍，比艾滋病毒/艾滋病高出9倍。考慮到對公眾健康和全球人口的巨大影響，我們可以說我們的研究結(jié)果表明了一場空氣污染大流行，”馬克斯·普朗克化學(xué)研究所所長、該研究的第一作者Jos Lelieveld說。
This study is the first to examine the global impact of air pollution on human health compared to other risk factors worldwide."Our comparison of different global risk factors shows that ambient air pollution is a leading cause of premature mortality and loss of life expectancy,in particular through cardiovascular diseases,"says Thomas Münzel,director of the Cardiology Center at the University Medical Center in Mainz and co-author of the paper.
