Air pollution dead, world average level. Much worse than developed countries

Korea Dust Concentration and Air Pollution Deaths Cause Economic Cooperation and Development Agency
It was found to be the worst level among ( OECD ) member states.

16th , U.S. non-profit private environmental health organization "Health Impact Research Institute"
According to ( HEI ) material, reflects the weight of the population
The annual average fine dust ( PM2.5 ) concentration in Korea was 2626 / ㎥ in 1990 .

Much higher than the OECD average at that time (17㎍ / ㎥)
It was the seventh worst level among member states.

Since then, the OECD average has fallen to 15㎍ / ㎥ over 25 years by 2015 ,
Korea has risen to 2929 / ㎥ rather.
Excluding Turkey, it has deteriorated at the worst level among OECD countries.

It is the graph which compared the transition of the secular change of the concentration of ( PM2.5 ) with the level.
The red line is Korea.

The only country with a higher concentration than us is Turkey, the top country.

South Korea has five groups of values ​​divided by dust concentrations around the world.

It belongs to the middle three groups and is at a level that cannot be compared with developed countries.

Worst when compared to Asian countries
China (58㎍ / ㎥), North Korea (34㎍ / ㎥), Laos (33㎍ / ㎥)
Better but Japanese (13㎍ / ㎥) or Singapore

Of course, the situation is worse than in Vietnam, Mongolia and the Philippines.
 

 

 

 

 

 

  Korea ranks badly in all Asian countries.

It is also one of the air pollutants very harmful to health
Ozone levels are also low for OECD countries
While it decreased from 61㎍ / ㎥ in 1990 to 60㎍ / ㎥ in 2015 ,
South Korea rose from 66㎍ / ㎥ to 68㎍ / ㎥.

As a result, the worst ranking of ozone concentrations among OECD countries has also risen to fourth place.
Among Asian countries
South Korea has higher ozone concentrations than India and no Japan or China.

In HEI materials, fine dust and ozone
It is difficult to compare fatalities between OECD countries,
Only the result of the regional comparison can be known
But the overall level of Korea can be measured.

According to this material, the death toll of Korean fine dust is
15,100 people per year in 1990 , reduced to 13,100 in 2000 and the following year
Increased again to reach 18,200 in 2015 .

However, fine dust deaths per 100,000 people reflecting the age structure of the population
That number dropped from 68 in 1990 to 27 in 2015 .
The mortality rate during this period also dropped from 1.9 % to 1.2 %.
This is much lower than the global average ( 94 → 66 , 5 % → 4.1 %)
But Japan ( 17 ), United States ( 18 ), Canada ( 12 ), Western Europe
These are much higher than so-called developed countries.

However, it is the highest level among them.

This DB site ( www.stateofglobalair.org )
Collected every five years from 1990 to 2015 ,
The actual situation of air pollution such as fine dust and ozone around the world
It contains data on changes in the number of deaths due to this.

According to the HEI report, the 2015 standard,
Air pollution has killed 4.2 million people worldwide,
Air pollution was the fifth leading cause of death.
China and India killed more than half to 2.2 million.

 Let us also interfere with China's domestic affairs.
If you do not immediately take measures against fine dust,
We warn China to enter trade, tourist, and cultural retaliation.

 Really serious.
Because the fine dust is high once every other day !
Don't be extraordinary even at school if you can't see it.
I am worried if I see the dust covered but doing physical education classes on the playground.
Let's see if we want to change even for a government that has a lot of interest in the environment.
