Air pollution exposure is responsible for thousands of premature infant deaths every year worldwide. Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia have by far the highest rates of neonatal deaths attributable to air pollution. In Sub-Saharan Africa, approximately 80 percent of these deaths were caused by household air pollution from sources such as burning solid fuels for cooking.
