UK Net-Zero Policies to Yield Substantial Health and Economic Benefits
A study by Imperial College London predicts substantial health and economic benefits for the UK from its net-zero policies, estimating 4,000-15,000 fewer annual deaths from air pollution by 2035 and £26bn-£31bn in economic gains by 2060 from fewer deaths alone, with additional gains from reduced ill...

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.

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.
