Child mortality from respiratory infections vs. access to clean fuels for cooking, 2016

Mortality rate of children under five years old from lower respiratory infections, measured as the number of deaths per 100,000. This is shown against the share of the
population with access to clean fuels for cooking and heating. Lack of access to clean fuels results in high levels of indoor air pollution – a key risk factor for respiratory
infections.
