The 2024 State of Global Air (SoGA) data from the Health Effects Institute (HEI) reveals that air pollution, including PM2.5 pollutants, contributes to a number of diseases and causes deaths in Indonesia.

Of the deaths from ischemic stroke in 2021, 11% were attributed to air pollution, while 89% stemmed from other, non-pollution factors.

Neonatal deaths were attributed to 9% pollution and 91% non-pollution. HEI notes that the neonatal estimate accounts only for PM2.5, household air pollution, or a combination of both.

"Neonatal impacts include complications from being born too small (low birth weight) or too early (premature), and lower respiratory infections," wrote the research team on the website cited on Monday (July 15, 2024).

Furthermore, lung cancer deaths comprised 11% from pollution and 89% from non-pollution sources.

Ischemic heart disease deaths were 15% pollution-related and 85% uncorrelated with pollution.

Lower respiratory infection (LRI) deaths were 12% due to pollution and 88% due to non-pollution factors; diabetes, 11% pollution and 89% non-pollution; and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), 15% pollution and 85% non-pollution.

According to Klikdokter, several studies have found a link between air pollution and diabetes. Pollutants can trigger inflammation in various organs, including the pancreas, thus affecting insulin production.

When the pancreas is damaged, its function is impaired.

"As a result, blood sugar levels tend to be high, which over time can cause diabetes mellitus," wrote Klikdokter on its website, cited Monday (July 15, 2024).
