Places are filling up fast for December's Air Quality in the 21st Century at the Royal Society of Chemistry.

It's a science adventure from the work of AQEG to net zero, health gains from air pollution actions, UFP, shipping, inequalities in exposure the ULEZ and more.

9 out of 10 air pollution deaths are from non-communicable diseases Poor air quality is the second leading risk factor for death, with noncommunicable diseases causing 86% of deaths linked to air pollution.

"Between 2000 & 2023, the total number of NCD deaths attributable to air pollution increased by 13.5%, from 5.99 million to 6.8 million."

Delhi’s Air Pollution Rises But Trust In Official Data Falls - Health Policy Watch NEW DELHI - Farmers burning their fields near India’s capital city have caused air pollution in New Delhi to become even worse than it was on Diwali night, 20

πŸ’¨Delhi can’t clean the air without clean data.

Conflicting satellite estimates, agency claims & ground-based monitors leave residents & policymakers confused while respiratory & cardiac cases climb.
