According to world health organization (WHO), about 21,000 premature deaths per year in European region because of air pollution like Ozone pollution courses breathe difficulties, triggers asthma symptoms, and causes lung and heart diseases. Additionally increasing indirect effects of air pollution like growing climate change, because of transport is the fastest growing source of fossil-fuel emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) which is a largest contributor of the climate change. As per data published by World Health Organization (WHO) Some 40 million people in the 115 largest cities in the European Union (EU) are exposed to air exceeding WHO air quality guideline values for at least one pollutant. Children that live close by the traffic of heavy duty vehicle have a high risk of respiratory then those living near less congested streets. Hence, the rising levels of air pollution coupled is anticipated to drive the demand for smart inhalers market during the forecast period.
