Lung Cancer Rise in Non-Smoking Women Linked to Air Pollution and Genetic Factors
A new study shows a sharp rise in lung cancer among non-smoking women globally, with adenocarcinoma accounting for almost 60% of cases, linked to air pollution, genetic mutations (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, TP53, KRAS), and immune system factors; approximately 2.5 million new cases were reported in 2022.

Record PM2.5 Levels Trigger Air Quality Emergency in Germany
Germany's air quality is critically poor due to high PM2.5 levels (nearly 50 micrograms/cubic meter in some areas), exceeding safety thresholds, caused by stagnant weather and pollutants from Eastern Europe, affecting all 16 federal states.

Bangkok Chokes on Hazardous Air Pollution
Hazardous air pollution in Bangkok, reaching eight times the WHO PM2.5 recommendation, caused 352 school closures and prompted the use of a rainmaking plane as the government struggles to control the problem, which is partly caused by slash-and-burn farming and transboundary pollution.
