Breathing this air day in day out eventually causes a lot of diseases:more than a third of the 4.3 million die of a stroke,while a quarter die of heart disease.And around one-third of annual lung disease deaths worldwide are due to waste from coal stoves.
Exposure tends to be extremely harmful for the people who spend the most time around the fire—usually women and young children.In fact,the WHO reports that household air pollution almost doubles the risk for childhood lung disease.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明,在家庭中来自烹饪的空气污染的害处是非常惊人的,厨房做饭产生的烟已经成为致命的杀手,因此我们应该引起注意,并提防来自烹饪的家庭污染。
