Investment case for air pollution reduction in Ethiopia
Investment case for air pollution reduction in Ethiopia
June 26, 2024
Two major sources of air pollution, ambient air pollution (AAP) and household air pollution (HAP), are of major concern in Ethiopia.
The analysis includes the impact of AAP on the following six diseases: acute lower respiratory infection, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, ischemic heart disease, lung cancer, stroke and type 2 diabetes. For HAP, the analysis estimated the impact of the same diseases, except for type 2 diabetes, as this is not part of WHO’s The Benefits of Action to Reduce Household Air Pollution (BAR-HAP) Tool.
