Fossil fuel pollution causes one in five premature deaths globally: study

Study reveals irreversible link between air pollution and vision loss

A new study published on Monday has shed light on the irreversible link between air pollution and vision loss. Air pollution can cloud people's vision and in later life lead to macular degeneration, an age-related eye ailment that can lead to irreversible blindness. Researchers believe that pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide are the biggest causes of health concerns.

When inhaled, fossil fuel pollution can lead to heart attacks and aggravated asthma, among other health issues.

One in five premature deaths tied to fossil fuel pollution

The human health impacts of burning coal, oil and natural gas are much greater than what was previously realized. According to a new report, fossil fuel pollution is responsible for one out of every five premature deaths worldwide. The research, which was led by Harvard University, represents the most detailed assessment of premature deaths linked to fossil fuel pollution to date. Study co-author Eloise Marais is an expert in atmospheric chemist…
