Due to the great increase in the world population, which is at 6.1 billion, energy use, and the number of vehicles on roads make air pollution a greater threat than ever(Pollution, Environmental). Because of this,air pollution kills eight thousand people a year due to respiratory related problems(Air Pollution Kills). Also, 40% of the worlds deaths are being attributed to environmental factors(Segelken).
