The annual number of premature heart-related deaths and years of disability attributable to particulate matter (PM) air pollution increased...
The investigators analyzed changes over time in years of life lost due to premature death, years lived with disability, and disability-adjusted life years. The last is a measure that considers both the loss of life and the impact on quality of life, to assess the full impact of a health condition on a population.
The researchers concluded that the total number of premature deaths and years of heart-related disability from diseases attributable to particulate matter pollution rose from 2.6 million in 1990 to 3.5 million in 2019, a 31% worldwide increase. The research also revealed that between 1990 and 2019, there was a nearly 37% decrease in premature deaths attributed to particulate matter pollution. That means that while fewer people had died fromThe findings were published Aug. 9 in the“The declines in deaths may be considered positive news, as they indicate improvements in health care, air pollution control measures and access to treatment,” Farzadfar said in a heart association news release.
“The reason for the decrease in the burden of household air pollution from solid fuels might be better access and use of cleaner fuels, such as refined biomass, ethanol, liquefied petroleum“Moreover, structural changes, such as improved cookstoves and built-in stoves, chimney hoods and better ventilation, might be effective in reducing pollution exposure to solid fuels. Finally, the effects of educational and behavioral interventions should be considered,” Farzadfar added.

Controlling pollution and overfishing can help protect coral reefs — but it’s not enoughA study suggests that while local management of run-off and fishing intensity can improve reef health, it is insufficient to protect against climate-induced heatwaves. Minimizing both land-based and sea-based human impacts simultaneously may aid in the recovery of coral reefs from marine heatwaves.
