China, India and Pakistan are the countries with the three largest numbers of air pollution-related deaths in the world, but the U.S. is nevertheless a top contender, coming in at 7th place, the study showed.  <\/p>\n<p>Computer models and health statistics were used to form conclusions for the study. Most of the air pollution-related deaths were found to be from heart attacks and strokes. Another surprising find from the data was that air pollution caused more deaths than HIV and malaria combined. <\/p>\n<p>While agricultural emissions continue to increase, they remain unregulated. If no action is taken to curb current emissions, air pollution-related deaths may double, the study\u2019s findings suggest.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Top image:\u00a0Air pollution over the Red River in Germany (Credit: Martin Fisch, via Flcikr\/CC BY-SA 2.0)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All over the globe, air pollution kills millions, according to an Associated Press report on an international study.
