非传染性疾病死亡人数占环境相关死亡总数的比例最高
Noncommunicable diseases contribute to largest share of environment-related deaths
The second edition of the report, “ Preventing disease through healthy environments: a global assessment of the burden of disease from environmental risks ”, reveals that since the report was first published a decade ago, deaths due to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), mostly attributable to air pollution (including exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke), amount to as much as 8.2 million of these deaths.
NCDs, such as stroke, heart disease, cancers and chronic respiratory disease, now amount to nearly two-thirds of the total deaths caused by unhealthy environments.

Increases in access to safe water and sanitation have been key contributors to this decline, alongside better access to immunization, insecticide-treated mosquito nets and essential medicines.
