Particulate pollution kills people and causes suffering, mostly to women and children.

Over 4 million people die prematurely from illness attributable to the household
air pollution from cooking with solid fuels.
More than 50% of premature deaths among children under 5 are due to pneumonia
caused by particulate matter (soot) inhaled from household air pollution.
- ghshephard 12y agoI'd rather die prematurely from pollution, than die immediately from exposure or lack of clean drinking water. Pollution really is way, way down on the list of concerns for people in impoverished nations. Water, Shelter, Food are much more pressing concerns.
