Many of these deaths result from ischemic heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia, type 2 diabetes and neonatal disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a World Bank study, PM2.5 derived from the burning of fossil fuels (for example, coal combustion or emissions from vehicles that use diesel) is among the most toxic types of PM2.5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the particles that come from these sources are more harmful to health than those that originate from most other sources of air pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Climate_change_and_air_pollution\"><\/span><strong>Climate change and air pollution<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although climate change and air pollution are often treated separately, the sources of air pollution contribute decisively to climate warming. So the fight against air pollution that comes from them also makes it possible to mitigate climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Air pollutants and greenhouse gases usually come from the same sources, for example, coal-fired power plants and vehicles that use diesel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the UN, cities represent one of the main drivers of climate change. These consume 78% of the world&#8217;s energy and produce more than 60% of greenhouse gas emissions. However, they cover less than 2% of the Earth&#8217;s surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The enormous number of people who depend on fossil fuels makes the urban population highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Just as the smaller number of green spaces makes the problem worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ready_to_work_with_the_contaminated_atmosphere\"><\/span><strong>Ready to work with the contaminated atmosphere<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rain of Life has devised an innovative system that not only purifies water, but also extracts it from the humidity of the environment, even in conditions of pollution.
