If anybody wants to figure out the licensing involved...
Hello,
I would like to ask for refernces and sources of information confirming this statement: "The World Health Organization thinks that 4.6 million people die each year from causes directly attributable to air pollution", and this one: "Published in 2005 suggests that 310,000 Europeans die from air pollution annually". If you can just insert the exact link where these facts were taken from, it'll be really good. thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.178.62.119 ( talk) 09:36, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

How do people feel about this artwork? I'm not sure how useful it is. I could be persuaded! My two initial concerns: 1) the person who redrew it chose the traffic signal colors (red, orange, green) rather than shades of the same color in the original. At a glance, this implies to me that much of the world is green and therefore clean, which is misleading. 2) I am not a great fan of this kind of map for graphing air pollution because different countries and continents suffer different pollution types. So from one country to another, we are not comparing like with like. We have wood fuel giving high death rates in Africa, but entirely different types of pollution (mostly I guess traffic particulates and no2) causing pollution deaths in Europe or North America. So what is the graph actually showing us? It seems grossly oversimplified to me, but maybe that's just me. 45154james ( talk) 18:32, 18 January 2024 (UTC) (Edited slightly, adding one sentence to help clarify my concerns. 45154james ( talk) 19:14, 18 January 2024 (UTC))

A number of the health facts/claims/citations in Air Pollution really need revisiting so they satisfy WP:MEDRS. We should also aim to scrutinize newly added medical material the same way. It's not sufficient just to cite random, individual health studies claiming air pollution impacts, however good they might seem; I think we should be careful to follow WP:MEDRS with much more emphasis on systematic reviews, much more scepticism of (recent) primary sources, and so on. 45154james ( talk) 11:39, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
