People die for all manner of reasons. Some may die from air pollution.
"Here’s a fact about China that you may not know: people in Shanghai today have a longer life expectancy than Americans.
A child in Shanghai is expected to live 82 years. In the United States, the figure is not quite 79 years. (For all of China, including rural areas, life expectancy is lower, 73 years — but rising steadily.)"
https://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/01/opinion/01kristof.htmlI guess the Americans die of something else. As people live longer they die of a larger range of ailments.
"The average life expectancy in Shanghai reached more than 83 years in 2016, far higher than the national average of 76.3 in 2015 and close to the world's highest of 83.7 in Japan and 83.4 in Switzerland.
Public health standards in the city have been maintained at the advanced level of developed countries and regions for 13 consecutive years, the Shanghai Municipal Government's Information Office said when releasing the figures on Monday.
Life expectancies for men and women climbed to 80.83 years and 85.61 years respectively last year, an increase of 0.36 years and 0.52 years year-on-year. "
