Half the world’s population are exposed to increasing air pollution
G. Shaddick, M. L. Thomas, et al.
This research conducted by G. Shaddick, M. L. Thomas, P. Mudu, G. Ruggeri, and S. Gumy reveals alarming air quality trends from 2010 to 2016. While some regions have made progress in reducing PM2.5 concentrations, over half of the global population faced increased exposure. Discover why Central and Southern Asia, along with Sub-Saharan Africa, are raising red flags for air pollution and health concerns.
