Why
Air pollution is responsible for more than 6 million early deaths each year. Further illness and death comes from people’s needless exposure to harmful chemicals in food, personal care products and other consumer goods.
Children, the elderly, people with existing diseases, those who work at or live near chemical facilities, and communities of color and of low wealth are most vulnerable.
Goal
One billion people in some of what are now the world’s most polluted cities are breathing cleaner air by 2030.
Human exposure to the highest-risk chemicals falls in priority regions by 2030, including a 30% drop from pre-pandemic levels in the U.S.
