Residents not native to US say poor air quality days are common in their homelands

Let's hear from people who grew up in places where today's dwindling but still dangerous smoke would just be another day. They tell our Ben Nady, they have a serious warning for people who are new to this kind of air pollution. So I'm not unfamiliar with things in the air. Torah med student, Shinui Aroha tells me along the coast of Nigeria where she went to grade school, air quality disrupts life. The massive city of Lagos which isn't far from where she lived is one of Africa's most polluted cities. According to online resource IQ air for about four months each year. The air around Lagos contains at least 10 times more fine particles than what experts consider safe. Abaroa says that combined with poor health services leads to death. One of her acquaintances there recently died of asthma, such a manageable disease. But in a place where we do not have much of the preventative health and access, it can be detrimental, it is dangerously unhealthy. Air international weather expert, Paul Walsh says about 6 million people worldwide die each year because of bad air quality. A lot of that is developing countries. But even here as we're seeing today, the instances of this kind of event are likely to be increasing. The increase is noticeable in India says orange county store clerk, Bobby Singh never be control in India. You know, pollution sings from just outside India's bus in capital city Delhi where the government is trying to catch up to its air pollution problem. Singh says to keep from falling behind here in the States. It's important that politicians but also the people prioritize green energy policies. It take a time like five years, 10 years. That's good. We can control environment pollution to use electric cars. IQ air data show Delhi has about 90 dangerously high pollution days each year. Like the historic one we had on Wednesday, Ben Nady News 12.
