Answer: Estimates range as high as 40% of the worlds deaths are attributable to non specific forms of pollution. The problem of arriving at a figure is to determine if pollution is directly, indirectly or marginally related to any specific death

Based on this rate, here is an estimate of the incidence of death among people now living in the world with the equivalent pollution related rates in brackets: * 1.78 deaths per second ( 0.4/sec)

* 107 deaths per minute (27/min)

* 6,390 deaths per hour (1,356/hr)

* 153,000 deaths per day (37,000/day)

* 56.0 million deaths per year (14 million/yr)

What are Germany's current problems?

One problem in Germany is the lack of fresh underground water. Shallow aquifers and contaminants are the main reasons. Two of the many contaminants are acidic drugs and gadolinium (organic complexes) originate in the sewer, and go into fresh ground water, making the water contaminated and useless. The water can go through treatment plants and get filtered, but not all of the contaminants will go away. -Showkid97
