An excellent four minute clip looking at the economic and human cost of air pollution in South Asia which causes an estimated 2 million premature deaths each year and reduces life expectancy by average 5 years. It incurs significant economic costs, places a heavy burden on the healthcare system, and takes a toll on the workforce. Some of the major sources of pollutants include combustion of solid fuels for cooking and heating, emissions from small industries such as brick kilns, burning of municipal and agricultural waste, and vehicular pollution.
