 <u>Deaths due to IAP stay constant at around 3 million per year</u>: Exposure to indoor air pollution from cooking with solid fuels has declined since 1990, but in 2013 still two-fifths of the world’s population was exposed. In low-income countries, population growth (exposing a growing number of people) offset the declines in death rates. This means that the overall death caused by indoor air pollution declined by 38% from 75 per 100,000 people in 1990 to 47 per 100,000 people in 2013. However, the total number of deaths associated with indoor air pollution has mostly remained constant at about 2.9 million per year, mostly in low and lower-middle-income countries.<ref name="The World Bank. ‘The Cost of Air Pollution : Strengthening the Economic Case for Action’.
