DA new study finds that more than 80 percent of people living in cities are breathing unsafe air. The WHO study on urban air quality says those most affected live in the worlds poorest cities. The study finds urban air pollution has nearly doubled in 3,000 cities in the world over the past two years. The study also shows that almost all cities with populations over 100,000and in developing countries, have air pollution levels that do not meet WHO guidelines. The WHO warns that as air quality worsens, the risk increases for many diseases. These include stroke, heart disease. lung cancer, and breathing diseases such as asthma(哮喘).Poor air quality is also responsible for an estimated seven million premature deaths every year. Flavia Bustreo, an expert in the WHO says that dirty air in cities most affects the youngest, oldest. and poorest people. However, her colleague. Maria Ieira, says there are effective measures to deal with theproblem. You will see that in those cities where measures have been put in place, you can see a decrease on the levels of air pollution and, therefore, on the health risks caused by air pollu-non，Carlos Dora, another expert in the WHO, says there are low-cost ways to improve airquality for even the poorest cities. These methods include using renewable power sources,such as solar and wind, and long-lasting public transportation. If you have clean transportation means, like cycling, walking or rapid transit systems-where you have a lot of people being carried with a few vehicles-then you have less air pollu-tion. Or, if you have cities like New York, which have cleaned the fuel to heat and cool thebuildings in a major way, then you have important improvements in air pollution”33. What does the study find? A.
