Mashup Score: 3Phasing out fossil fuels would save millions of lives worldwide - 5 month(s) ago
A rapid and just transition to cleaner energy is needed Fossil fuels are the principal driver of the climate change currently damaging human health, wellbeing, and ecosystems, and posing a threat to overall planetary health.12 Fossil fuels are also a major source of particulate matter and ozone.3 These air pollutants are responsible for a wide range of adverse health outcomes, including an estimated 6.7 million deaths globally in 2019.3 However, deaths are only one part of the problem. Improved air quality would reduce the burden of several major diseases leading to healthier and longer lives, fewer patients requiring admission to hospital and other treatments, and decreasing the burden on health systems worldwide. Accumulating evidence shows that air pollution causes systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, leading to deterioration of cardiovascular and respiratory health, and adverse effects on nervous systems, metabolism, and mental and reproductive health.4 Air pollution might w

Mashup Score: 11Air pollution deaths attributable to fossil fuels: observational and modelling study - 5 month(s) ago
Objectives To estimate all cause and cause specific deaths that are attributable to fossil fuel related air pollution and to assess potential health benefits from policies that replace fossil fuels with clean, renewable energy sources. Design Observational and modelling study. Methods An updated atmospheric composition model, a newly developed relative risk model, and satellite based data were used to determine exposure to ambient air pollution, estimate all cause and disease specific mortality, and attribute them to emission categories. Data sources Data from the global burden of disease 2019 study, observational fine particulate matter and population data from National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) satellites, and atmospheric chemistry, aerosol, and relative risk modelling for 2019. Results Globally, all cause excess deaths due to fine particulate and ozone air pollution are estimated at 8.34 million (95% confidence interval 5.63 to 11.19) deaths per year. Most (52%) of
