Global air pollution exposure and poverty
J. Rentschler and N. Leonova
This important study conducted by Jun Rentschler and Nadezda Leonova examines the critical link between exposure to ambient air pollution and poverty across 211 countries. With 7.3 billion people, mostly in low- and middle-income regions, exposed to unsafe PM2.5 levels, it sheds light on urgent health challenges faced by the poorest communities. Discover how these findings call for immediate interventions to battle air pollution's unequal effects.
