Spotlight on Increasing Evidence of Air Pollution’s Impact on Mental Health At WHO Conference 28/03/2025 Disha Shetty & Elaine Ruth Fletcher Air pollution has been linked to poor brain development, as well as a higher risk of dementia and stroke. A link has also been established between exposure to air pollution and depression as well as higher suicide rates. The subject received attention at the second WHO’s global conference on air pollution and health in Cartagena, […] Continue reading -> ‘Make Our Lungs Healthy Again’ 26/03/2025 Elaine Ruth Fletcher & Sophia Samantaroy CARTAGENA, Colombia – From toxic methane flares in the Amazon rainforest to the death of a nine-year-old girl from London smog, the second WHO Conference on Air Pollution and Health opened Tuesday with a series of emotional testimonials on the deadly effects of smog. Behind the human stories, however, stands a mounting array of evidence […] Continue reading -> Reducing Emissions of ‘Super Pollutants’ Would Slam Emergency Brake on Global Warming 25/03/2025 Sophia Samantaroy CARTAGENA, Colombia – A small group of climate pollutants– including the air pollutants black carbon, methane, and ozone – are responsible for nearly half of global temperature increases to date. Reducing these emissions, which only remain in the atmosphere for a few weeks to decades, could serve as the “emergency brake” critical to halting runaway […] Continue reading -> How ‘Everyday Heroes’ in Nigeria Are Cleaning Up Their Communities 24/03/2025 Abdullahi Jimoh OSOGBO, Nigeria – A few years back, when the bustling Alekuwodo market in Osogbo in Osun State quietened down at night, the chaos of the day lingered. Crushed tomatoes, discarded papers, plastic wrappers, bean husks, watermelon rinds and other fruit scraps turned the market square into a suffocating mess. As the sun set, the stench […] Continue reading -> Halving Deaths from Air Pollution is Central Aim of WHO Conference 24/03/2025 Sophia Samantaroy & Elaine Ruth Fletcher CARTAGENA, Colombia – A tour bus emits a cloud of black diesel smoke in front of Cartagena’s glittering white conference center. It is a vivid reminder that from the hottest tourist destinations to the slums of Latin America, Asia and Africa, nine out of ten people on the planet breathe dangerously unhealthy levels of air […] Continue reading -> US EPA Rollback of Dozens of Air, Water and Chemical Pollution Regulations Threatens America’s Health, Experts Warn 15/03/2025 Sophia Samantaroy The US Environmental Protection Agency announced it would seek to roll back 31 climate, air and water pollution, and emissions regulations, declaring this is the “biggest deregulatory action” in US history. Leading environmental health voices say that rolling back pollution and climate regulations will inextricably harm the public’s health, though the Trump administration asserts that […] Continue reading -> Switching from Biomass to LPG Failed to Show Health Gains in Four-Country Study of Household Air Pollution 13/03/2025 Disha Shetty A four-year, multi-country trial measuring health impacts of reduced indoor air pollution due to the shifting of households from biomass to Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) has yielded mixed results – defying expectations that reduced indoor air pollution would yield significant health benefits. The study of 3,200 households in four Asian, African and Latin America countries […] Continue reading -> Only Seven Countries Meet WHO Air Quality Standards; Most Polluted are Chad and Bangladesh – Northern India Also Dominates 11/03/2025 Chetan Bhattacharji Chad and Bangladesh ranked as the most polluted countries in 2024, while Delhi, India was the most polluted capital city, according to the 2024 World Air Quality report produced by the Swiss-based IQAir.
