A study published in The Lancet reveals that household air pollution continues to cause 3.1 million deaths annually, primarily in lower-income countries. Despite a decrease in exposure levels from 56.7% to 33.8% between 1990 and 2021, the actual number of people exposed remains high due to population growth. The pollution is linked to severe health issues, particularly affecting children under 5. The researchers emphasize the need for cleaner energy solutions to mitigate health risks.
