“Air pollutants produced by combustion are major drivers of NCD mortality. These pollutants are responsible for 21% of deaths from cardiovascular disease, 26% of deaths from ischaemic heart disease deaths, 23% of stroke deaths, 51% of deaths from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and 43% of lung cancer deaths.1 They cause widespread cognitive dysfunction and neurobehavioural impairment” (Figueres, C., Landrigan, P. J., & Fuller, R. (2018).

Thank you and let me know if you have any questions
Please don’t start with sentences that start with “this, these, it…etc” this is vague and not use in formal writing. Need to specify what we are talking about. Also don’t use citations in the middle of the sentence. Avoid “as well as” as much as possible.
Thank you!
