For the 339 cities monitored by the ministry, the average density of PM2.5, a key indicator of air pollution, was 30 micrograms per cubic meter in 2023, almost 3 micrograms per cubic meter down from the annual target, according to the ecology and environment communique released on the ministr...
In this analysis, we created a framework for social impact assessments to identify who may be burdened with higher levels of air pollution in national decarbonization transitions. This could help advise decision makers on who loses in energy transitions and help build a policy to compensate them. ...
Fig. 3: Air pollution exposure of people in poverty. a Number of people living in poverty and facing unsafe air pollution exposure, at different poverty thresholds and by region. b Top ten countries—percentage of people living on $1.90/day and exposed to hazardous PM2.5 levels. c Health ca...
percentage of stomataThe aim of this paper is the determination of air pollution influence on the percentage of stomata in tested woody species, horse chestnut and birch, under examined Banja Luka air pollution conditions. Two locations in Banja Luka town were examined, with different air pollution...
Ordinary linear regression, in contrast, estimates the conditional mean of the response variable, only giving information about the relationship between air pollution levels and the percentage of NHB residents for the “average” census tract. Using quantile regression provides more comprehensive results,...
Air pollution has been a widespread and visible concern, that has increased significantly over the last decade across many parts of India with severe consequences for human health and well-being. The Indian government, as in many other countries, responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by enforcing ...

Air pollution remains as a substantial health problem, particularly regarding the combined health risks arising from simultaneous exposure to multiple air pollutants. However, understanding these combined exposure events over long periods has been hinder
(equivalent to 2.9 per 1000 infants expressed as a percentage). These findings shed light on the tangible impacts of air pollution on public health, emphasizing the increased susceptibility to conditions such as lung cancer, heart disease, and emphysema, ultimately contributing to a shortened LEP119...
