I found this quote from the article in the url, below, shocking:
"The average person can go up to two months without food, three days without water, but only a few minutes without air. Breathable air is essential to life. Yet a new analysis found that last year, only 10 countries and 9% of global cities had air quality that met World Health Organization guidelines for harmful fine-particle, or PM2.5, pollution."
To be clear, what is shocking is not that air matters, of course, but that so few countries have what the WHO considers to be an acceptable minimum quality.
Take care
