This is a reliable source as it is from World Health Organisation and it latest update is at August 2008. It stated the statistic which support the fact.
In my opinion, I think that we can try to reduce air pollution by playing a part but not totally eliminate it by using the above ways that I stated. By reducing air pollution, we can get more refresh air and make the earth more "healthy". Imagine that in the morning when you wake up, you take a deep breath and the air turn up to be smoky gas. In order to prevent that to happen, let play a part to keep the earth and ourselves healthy. I had been doing my part, so do you?
