The scale of annual deaths around the world attributed to air, water and other forms of pollution is staggering. The majority are concentrated in low to middle income countries but in the UK around 1,000 deaths per week are linked to the externalities of pollution.
Air pollution alone is estimated to shave six months off the average life expectancy of someone living in the UK.
