内拉在声明中指出,报告显示较贫穷国家的空气会比已发展国家来得肮脏,但空气污染的问题是会影响全球每一个国家和社会。
'It is a public health emergency,' she said. 'Fast action to tackle air pollution can't come soon enough,' she added, urging governments to cut the number of vehicles on the road, improve waste management and promote clean cooking fuel.
她说:“这是个公共卫生紧急事件,应付空气污染问题刻不容缓。”同时,她也吁请政府减少路上的车辆、改善废物管理,以及提倡使用清洁能源。
Tuesday's report was based on data collected from more than 3,000 sites across the globe. It found that '92 per cent of the world's population lives in places where air quality levels exceed WHO limits'.
这份报告是根据全球超过3000个地方的数据所拟定的。调查显示,全球92%的人口居住在空气污染指数超标的地方。
Nearly 90 per cent of air pollution-related deaths occur in low and middle-income countries, the WHO said. Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific region, including China, Malaysia and Vietnam, are the hardest hit, the data showed.
世界卫生组织表示,近90%与环境污染有关的死亡案例发生在低收入或中等收入国家,而在东南亚和西太平洋地区,中国、马来西亚和越南的情况较为严重。
Carlos Dora, coordinator at the WHO's public health and environment department, said that some of the strategies adopted to safeguard against polluted air have limited effectiveness. For example, daily air quality warnings -- like those sometimes issued in Beijing -- likely do little to help the average person, since the real threat is exposure to sub-par air over extended periods.
