Pollution is the largest environmental risk factor for disease & premature death.
A new study published shocking data: #Pollution is responsible for approximately nine million deaths per year, & 90% of deaths occur in low & middle-income countries. thelancet.com/journals/lanpl…
Great opportunity to collaborate with Daniel Depellegrin, Mahatub Khan Badhon, and Sayam U. Chowdhury on the development of the first #MSP database for #Bangladesh . 28 human & environmental layers divided into seven #BlueEconomy sectors were collected. More info:
