Hong Kong's South China Morning Post June 30, topic: the International Energy Agency: smog the Chinese lost 25 months

A report recently released by the International Energy Agency estimates that in China, the energy field causing serious air pollution, the average life expectancy of Chinese people has been reduced by 25 months.

A study on air pollution report by the International Energy Agency estimates that up to 97% of the under exposed to PM2.5 exceeds World Health Organization standards against the Chinese people. This country has about 1 million premature deaths per year may be related to outdoor air pollution.

Reports also said that indoor pollution, mainly from cooking when organic matter and the use of poor-quality fuels for heating, kill 1.2 million people every year.

At the global level, air pollution has become a major public health crisis that raised 6.5 million premature deaths each year.

Executive Director, International Energy Agency Fatih Birol said, although the Chinese Government has been trying to solve the problem of pollution, but because of the aging population of the country for air pollution hazard effects of resistance is very fragile, so still on the increase in the number of premature deaths.

Birol said the IEA have found a low cost strategy to address global emissions. For example, increases in energy investment 7%, used by terminating the domestic combustion of organic compounds and use kerosene, can help the world reduce 3 million deaths in rural areas.

The report estimated that by inhibiting the release of industrial, heavy vehicle and home cooking pollution, together with other control measures, by 2040, China's average life expectancy will increase in 15 months.

Experts said, the Chinese Government has pledged to invest heavily in clean air, but need to make a thorough effort to spend money more efficiently. (Author Li Jing, Mu Yi-translation)

港媒:国际报告称空气污染令中国人均折寿25个月|雾霾|PM2.5_新闻资讯

　　原标题：港媒：国际报告称空气污染令中国人均折寿25个月

　　香港《南华早报》6月30日文章，原题：国际能源署：雾霾令中国人均折寿25个月

　　国际能源署最近发布的一个报告估计，在中国，能源领域造成的严重空气污染已经令中国人平均寿命缩短了25个月。

　　国际能源署的一份空气污染研究报告估计，多达97%的中国人暴露在超过世界卫生组织标准的PM2.5危害之下。每年这个国家都有大约100万例过早死亡可能与室外空气污染有关。

　　报告还说，家庭室内污染——主要来自烹饪时燃烧有机物和使用劣质燃料取暖，每年造成120万中国人死亡。

　　在全球范围，空气污染已成为一个主要的公共健康危机，每年引发650万例过早死亡。

　　国际能源署执行董事Fatih Birol表示，尽管中国政府一直在努力解决污染问题，但由于这个国家不断老化的人口对于空气污染产生的危害效果抵抗力非常脆弱，因而过早死亡的人数仍在增加。

　　Birol表示，国际能源署已经找到了能够解决全球污染排放的低成本战略。比如，在能源投资方面增加7%，通过终止家庭燃烧有机物和使用煤油的习惯，就能帮助全球农村地区减少300万的死亡。

　　上述报告估计，通过抑制工业、重型车辆和家庭烹饪释放的污染，再加上其他的治理措施，到2040年，中国的人均寿命将增加15个月。

　　有关专家表示，中国政府已承诺投入巨资清理空气，但需要作出彻底努力，让钱花得更有效。（作者Li Jing，穆弈译）
