Summarize the article below. What do you think about pollution? What can you do to reduce your pollution?

The article talks about the threat of pollution for humanā€™s health. Iā€™m astonished the result that one in six deaths worldwide is because of pollution. The article regards most of these deaths were in developing countries including China.
