Exposure to environmental pollutants seems to be a major source of health hazards globally, with risks generating higher levels of pollution in industrialized countries, where poverty, a lack of investment in new technology and inadequate environmental laws combine. But the connections between air pollution and health effects are complex and often poorly characterized. Due to a lack of thorough control and intrinsic variations within every demographic group, for example, exposure levels are frequently unexpected or ambiguous. Exposures may occur through a number of exposure routes and mechanisms. Specific contaminants may be implicated in a wide range of health consequences, but little disease is directly related to individual pollutants. Long delay, the effects of cumulative exposures, and repeated exposures to different pollutants, which may all work synergistically, cause challenges in unravelling environmental and health contamination. Nevertheless, in recent years several attempts have been made to estimate the worldwide risk of illness as a consequence of environmental pollution, whether for years of mortality or of disability-adjusted life (DALYs). Pollution may be linked to approximately 8-9% of the total disease burden, although in industrialized nations somewhat higher. The major sources of exposure and air pollution inside are insecure water, poor ventilation and poor cleanliness.
