However, calm and oxygen are not the only things a deep breath brings. In many parts of the world, a deep breath also brings pollutants into our bodies. For many people around the world, breathing polluted air has become the new normal.

On its website, WHO experts say that air pollution kills an estimated 7 million people worldwide every year.
