外媒:亚洲成污染重灾区

BJ not alone in pollution

Beijing is not the only Asian city with serious air pollution. The Chinese capital is just one of hundreds of cities, largely in Asia, where poisonous air is now the fastest growing cause of death in urban populations, The Guardian reported. In the past few months there have been acute air pollution incidents reported in Bangladesh, Iran, Afghanistan, Nepal, and Pakistan. The annual Global Burden of Disease report says air pollution causes 1.2m deaths a year in east Asia, and 712,000 in south Asia.

据英国《卫报》报道，北京并非唯一一个空气严重污染的亚洲城市。在数百个城市，有毒空气正加速成为人类健康杀手，而这些城市多分布在亚洲。过去几个月内，孟加拉国、伊朗、阿富汗、尼泊尔、巴基斯坦等国家都先后发生过严重的空气污染事件。全球疾病负担的年度报告显示，东亚每年有120万人死于空气污染，南亚则有71.2万。
