Burden of fine air pollution on mortality in the desert climate of Kuwait
B. Alahmad, J. Li, et al.
This study revealed a harrowing link between PM2.5 air pollution and mortality rates in Kuwait, showing that a mere 10 µg/m³ increase in urban PM2.5 can escalate all-cause mortality by 1.19%. The research indicates a potential of averting over 52 deaths annually through a reduction in PM2.5 levels. This critical analysis was conducted by Barrak Alahmad, Jing Li, Souzana Achilleos, Fahd Al-Mulla, Ali Al-Hemoud, and Petros Koutrakis.
