​Ibn Khaldoun_edited.jpg

Frequent deaths are usually caused by polluted air, which results from dense urbanization and the mixing of air with decay and harmful moisture. When the air, which nourishes the soul, becomes corrupted, it affects the body. If the pollution is strong, it causes lung disease.

Ibn Khaldoun, Arab Sociologist - Philosopher and Historian
