"We’ve seen some improvements in many parts of the world. Unfortunately, those improvements were relatively small. And we’ve seen that many parts of the world including Pakistan and India, we’re really very stagnant right now in terms of air quality. In North America, we’ve seen great improvements because we’ve had less wildfire activity."

"We still have a lot of hidden air pollution around the world and I think the more monitoring will go on, the more we’ll see, especially in Africa. There’s a combination (of factors). It’s a combination of sand blown right through some of the region, especially sub-Saharan Africa, and a lot of dirty fuel being burned. And I think that’s being shared with a lot of countries in Asia too."

"So, we’re seeing that slight improvements are being made, mostly those are coming though from the very developed countries, right? Where you see the transition from combustion engines in transportation to electric vehicles. I think we’re seeing some of that and where we see some of the power generation now switching over to cleaner sources too."

"The factors that contribute – and that’s burning of fossil fuels – contribute majorly to air pollution, are also a major driver of the climate crisis. And that’s why we believe that when we tackle the issues of air pollution, we are also addressing… these are also climate solutions and we are addressing the factors that are causing (the) climate crisis."

STORYLINE:
Most of the world has dirty air, with just 17% of cities globally meeting air pollution guidelines, a report Tuesday found.
Switzerland-based air quality monitoring database IQAir analyzed data from 40-thousand air quality monitoring stations in 138 countries and found that Chad, Congo, Bangladesh, Pakistan and India had the dirtiest air. India had six of the nine most polluted cities with the industrial town of Byrnihat in northeastern India the worst.
