WHO Warns of Air Pollution Risks in Iraq

The World Health Organization in Iraq has warned that air pollution is linked to increased health risks, including respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, strokes, and lung cancer. It emphasized that dedicated monitoring systems are essential for linking environmental data with health indicators in order to identify sources of danger and guide preventive measures, especially for the most vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly. It also pointed out that water pollution, chemical, and industrial contaminants heighten health risks, and that declines in water quality are worsened by climate change, necessitating a multi-sectoral response to strengthen public health protection. Iraq ranks among the most affected countries worldwide by air pollution and is the sixth most impacted globally, according to IQAir.
