UNICEF: Air pollution kills 600,000 children yearly
UNICEF is asking world leaders attending COP22 to take four steps:
--Reduce pollution by cutting back on fossil fuel combustion and investing in energy efficiency.
--Increase children's access to health care, including more immunization programs and information programs about pneumonia, a leading killer of children under 5.
--Minimize children's exposure to air pollution by keeping schools away from factories and other pollution sources and using cleaner cookstoves in homes.
--Improve monitoring of air pollution.
