A One Health Approach
Summary
Air pollution has been recognized as the largest global environmental health risk, causing an estimated seven million deaths across the globe annually according to the World Health Organization (2020). Depending on the selected discipline, scientists and decision-makers view air pollution using different datasets (e.g., Earth-observing satellite data, public health surveillance records, interviews, and focus groups) and applications (e.g., research presentations and manuscripts, public health education, and social media technology).During severe socio-economic dislocations, such as have occurred due to COVID-19, there is an opportunity to develop a better understanding of links between air.
How We Addressed This Challenge
We developed project tostudy the effects of air pollution and to build pollution free environment.
Reducing pollutants in the air is important for human health and the environment.
Poor air quality has harmful effects on human health, particularly the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
Pollutants can also damage plants and buildings, and smoke or haze can reduce visibility.
Air pollution can even lead to a person's death. Long-term health effects from air pollution include heart disease, lung cancer, and respiratory diseases such as emphysema. Air pollution can also cause long-term damage to people's nerves, brain, kidneys, liver, and other organs.
If air pollution levels in heavy traffic areas were reduced, the incidence of asthma and other respiratory diseases would be significantly reduced. While it is generally accepted that efforts to reduce air pollution will prevent further environmental changes, they will not reverse existing warming.
Thus ,we can expect a pollution free environment and not to let our future go up
in smoke.
How We Developed This Project
Pollution has affected nature very badly in many ways.
Air pollution is responsible for the melting of glaciers,which is disturbing the balance of nature.
The excessive use of plastic products and polythene bags are one of the main reasons for air pollution and hence results in increasing temperature across the globe.
All these things inspired us to choose this challenge.
We have done researches on air pollution and health related issues using all the standard study designs comprise both experimental and non-experimental studies.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
We have used data one of NASA's partner agencies for Space Apps 2020.
We used that data to study the effects of air pollution across the globe and to find the statistics.
Data & Resources

We have used this for statistics.
And we also used opensource such as google.
