Less than 1% of Earth has safe levels of air pollution, study finds

Hardly anywhere on Earth is safe from harmful levels of air pollution: study

Only 0.18% of the world's land area and 0.001% of the world's population were exposed to non-harmful levels of pollution

99 percent of global population exposed to unhealthy levels of tiny air pollutants: study

Nearly the entire global population is exposed to very fine air and harmful air pollutants that can be harmful to health, a new study found. The study, published in The Lancet Planetary Health journal, found that about 99 percent of the global population is exposed to these tiny and harmful air pollutants, which are known…

Less Than 1% of Earth Has Safe Levels of Air Pollution

Nearly the entire world is breathing harmful levels of PM2.5—tiny particles linked to lung cancer and heart disease.

Study into global daily air pollution shows almost nowhere on Earth is safe: Study of daily ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has found that only 0.001% of the global population are exposed to WHO safe levels

In a new study of daily ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) across the globe, a new study has found that only 0.18% of the global land area and 0.001% of the global population are exposed to levels of PM2.5 -- the world's leading environmental health risk factor -- below levels of safety recommended by Word Health Organization (WHO). Importantly while daily levels have reduced in Europe and North America in the two decades to 2019, levels hav

Nearly everyone globally exposed to unhealthy levels of tiny air pollutants

The daily PM2.5 levels have reduced in Europe and North America in the two decades to 2019

Nearly everyone globally exposed to unhealthy levels of tiny air pollutants: Lancet study

While the daily PM2.5 levels have reduced in Europe and North America in the two decades to 2019, levels have increased in South Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America and the Caribbean, with more than 70 per cent of days globally seeing levels above what is safe.
