We employ a nationally-representative panel dataset of the China Health and Nutrition Survey from 1991 to 2015 to estimate the impacts of air pollution on various types of health care expenditures. Using thermal inversions as an instrumental variable for air pollution, we fnd that exposure to air...
The impact of air pollution on human health is significant, and it affects people of all ages, from infants to the elderly. The problem of air pollution is not limited to developing countries; it is a global problem that requires immediate attention. One of the most significant impacts of ...
The subject has long been a matter of concern since the industrialization of the country brought in its pollution hazards. The present exposure to the environmental chemicals is more likely to produce toxicity that adult exposure. Subtle functional deviations in the off-springs of exposed mothers ...
One of the most significant impacts of air pollution on respiratory health is its ability to exacerbate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). For individuals already suffering from these conditions, exposure to air pollution can lead to ...
The goals of this study are: to quantify the impacts of air pollution (both household air pollution and ambient air pollution) on health, human capital, and the economy in a rapidly changing Africa; and to identify opportunities for control of air pollution and prevention of pollution-related ...
Stockholm Environment Institute research has highlighted the main impacts of air pollution on health, showing that small particulate matter can be related to millions of asthma-related visits to hospital each year globally, and over two million pre-term births, which can have lifelong health ...
Air pollution also impacts neuro-development and cognitive ability and can trigger asthma, and childhood cancer. Children who have been exposed to high levels of air pollution may be at greater risk for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease later in life. ...
In this essay, we delve into the profound impacts of air pollution and the urgent need for collective action to mitigate its harmful consequences. Firstly, the impact of air pollution on human health is profound and alarming. Particulate matter, ozone, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide are ...
Hence, there are major impacts on health because of the particulate matters and the reductions of these should be a priority in any country. Of course, it is important to measure the benefits people have to decrease the air pollution in Mexico. The main goal for this paper is to calculate...
Air pollution has wide-ranging and profound impacts on human health and well-being. Poor air quality has been shown to be responsible for over 4 million deaths each year from outdoor pollutants, 2.3 million from indoor air pollution1, and a wide range of cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurol...
