Coronavirus (COVID-19): The link between pollution and susceptibility
p站搭梯子加速软件
More than malnutrition or any communicable disease, pollution is claiming tens of thousands of lives each year, accounting for three times more deaths than HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria combined. The Malagasy have rallied to end this crisis by partnering with the Solve Pollution Network to implement the world's first Health and Pollution Action Plan. This five-year plan enables us to reduce exposure to pollution and improve health, changing the course of Madagascar's future and leading the way for other countries to solve pollution.
