Indian commuters make their way through heavy smog in Amritsar in November 2017
Household air pollution and ambient particular matter-a component of outdoor pollution-were listed individually among the top ten risk factors, and were tied to a combined 6.7 million deaths in 2016, the a year ago studied.
The WHO's healthy limit is 10 micrograms per cubic metre of air, but has set a so-called "interim air quality target" of 35 micrograms per cubic metre of air - which 60 per cent of the world still fails to achieve.
Additionally, 2.6 million deaths were attributed to household air pollution.
Ninety-five per cent of the world's population breathe air polluted above the levels that the World Health Organisation (WHO) deemed safe.
Ozone, a harmful gas that contributes to outdoor pollution, was listed separately and tied to 234,000 deaths from chronic lung disease.
According to HEI, this makes air pollution the fourth highest cause of death among all health risks, exceeded only by high blood pressure, diet, and smoking. In 2016, a total of 2.5 billion people - one in three of global citizens - were exposed to air pollution from solid fuels such as wood or charcoal. Indoor air pollution can also affect air quality in the surrounding area, with this effect contributing to one in four pollution deaths in India and almost one in five in China.
According to the report, China and India were found to be jointly responsiblefor over 50% of global deaths attributable to pollution.

India, along with Pakistan and Bangladesh, has seen a steep increase in air pollution over the past decade, however, China is actually winning the war against air pollution thanks to huge investment in green energy infrastructure projects.
Tuesday's report is the latest in a string of studies investigating the effects of air pollution on global populations, CNN reported.
IHME is an independent population health research center that coordinates the annual Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, a systematic scientific effort to quantify the magnitude of health loss from all major diseases, injuries, and risk factors in populations across the world.
The results can be found published online in the journal of Environmental Research.
HEI provides leadership for the air pollution portion of the GBD; HEI's State of Global Air is the only report and website where all of the estimates of exposure to air pollution and their burden of disease included in the GBD air pollution analyses are made available for full public access. This class of people faces air pollution from both outside and inside of their house.
Fine particle air pollution is the largest environmental risk factor worldwide, responsible for a substantially larger number of attributable deaths than other more well-known behavioural risk factors such as alcohol use, physical inactivity, or high sodium intake.
