How many people die of Air pollution every year now? more people die of air pollution worldwide than die in traffic accidents worldwide now

A friend of mine sent me a picture of Incheon Airport which is an island just off of South Korea where international flights land. It looked like a cloudy day but he said there were no clouds in the sky just air pollution blown across the yellow Sea from Beijing. I guess in the winter they burn coal to stay warm in Beijing which makes for the worst pollution this time of year in Seoul, Korea and in the northern part of S. Korea when the prevailing winds blow across the Yellow Sea towards Korea. He said they likely would have to wear face masks while there not to have breathing problems while outside this time of year.
