Nearly 2,000 children under five die daily due to pollution-related illnesses.

The major culprits include traffic and industrial emissions, waste-burning, wildfire smoke, and second-hand tobacco smoke.

Dust and sandstorms further exacerbate respiratory issues. These toxic exposures put young lives at risk, highlighting the urgency for action. Every child has a right to clean air, yet.
