A new report released Monday by the International Energy Agency says about 6.5 million deaths each year can be attributed to both indoor and outdoor air pollution.
國際能源署發布的一項新報告稱，每年約有650萬人死于室內外空氣污染。
According to the World Health Organization, that's more than the number of people who die from HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis and road injuries combined.
根據世界衛生組織，這一數據超過死于艾滋病、肺結核和道路傷害人數的總和。
This is the first air pollution study from the agency a Paris-based energy security group which is probably best known for its monthly oil market reports.
這是總部設在巴黎的能源安全集團的首次空氣污染研究，其最為人所知的可能是每月石油市場報告。
The report also warns that premature deaths from outdoor air pollution are probably going to rise from 3 million to 4.5 million by 2040, mainly in developing Asia.
該報告還警告說，到2040年室外空氣污染引起的過早死亡將從300萬人攀升到450萬人，主要在發展中亞洲國家。
In a statement, the IEA executive director said, No country rich or poor can claim that the task of tackling air pollution is complete.We need to revise our approach to energy development so that communities are not forced to sacrifice clean air in return for economic growth.
在一份聲明中國際能源署執行主任表示，無論富裕或貧窮，沒有國家可以聲稱解決空氣污染。我們需要修正我們的能源發展道路，不以犧牲潔凈空氣換取經濟增長。
The IEA suggests three steps for improving air quality like setting long-term air quality goals, having a clean air strategy for the energy sector and making sure countries actually monitor and enforce those goals and strategies.
國際能源署提出三個步驟改善空氣質量，像制定長期的空氣質量目標，能源部門有清潔空氣戰略以及確保國家實際上監控和執行這些目標和策略。
But to help slow air pollution, the developed world is going to need to do some investing in developing countries. That will allow countries like China where air pollution contributed to 1.2 million premature deaths in 2010 to finance industrial change and develop low-carbon technologies.
但為了幫助減緩空氣污染，發達國家需要對發展中國家進行一些投資。那將允許像中國這樣的國家提供資金進行工業變革，并發展低碳技術。在中國，2010年空氣污染致120萬人過早死亡。
If the IEA goals can be reached, developing countries could see the number of people exposed to certain types of air pollution drop. In India, it could fall below 20 percent by 2040 from the 60 percent it's at today.
如果國際能源署的目標可以達成，發展中國家暴露在某些類型空氣污染下的人數下降。在印度，到2040年可以從如今的百分之60下降到百分之20以下。
