Answer: Estimates range as high as 40% of the worlds deaths are attributable to (non-specified) pollution. The problem of arriving at a figure is to determine if pollution is directly, indirectly or marginally related to any specific death

Based on this rate, here is an estimate of the incidence of death among people now living in the world with the equivalent pollution related rates in brackets: * 1.78 deaths per second ( 0.4/sec)

* 107 deaths per minute (27/min)

* 6,390 deaths per hour (1,356/hr)

* 153,000 deaths per day (37,000/day)

* 56.0 million deaths per year (14 million/yr)
