False.
Air pollution can be directly fatal — acute exposures to toxic gases (e.g., carbon monoxide) or very high concentrations of particulates/industrial smog can cause death, and chronic exposure to pollutants (PM2.5, ozone, NO2) is linked to millions of deaths annually (WHO estimates ~7 million/year). Historical examples include the 1952 London smog.
