A new report – The New Top Six Toxic Threats: A Priority List For Remediation – has been released by Pure Earth and Green Cross Switzerland.
It is the tenth report in the World’s Worst Pollution Problems series that over the years has served to raise awareness about the global threat of toxic pollution, and available solutions.
The 2015 report updates the list of toxic threats that pose an outsized threat to human health. The top six threats collectively affect the health of 95 million people and account for 14.7 million Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) lost in low- and middle-income countries.
