Senior citizens who breathe in even low levels of pollution from industry, traffic, wildfires and other sources face greater odds of dying earlier. This tool shows which U.S. locations are most vulnerable to 'dirty diesel'pollution from trucks:
Senior citizens who breathe in even low levels of pollution from industry, traffic, wildfires and other sources face greater odds of dying earlier as a result, and incremental changes in allowable emissions could save lives, an in-depth study of Medicare recipients shows.
In fact, the EPA helped fund the “rigorous” peer-reviewed study’s research, conducted by the Health Effects Institute. Auto makers and fossil fuel CL00, -0.44% companies also paid for the study. Air pollution has long been viewed as a significant contributor to the global burden of disease, including to risks of heart disease, diabetes, asthma and respiratory disease.
What the COVID shutdown proved Other recent studies have linked fine-particle pollution to higher rates of death from COVID-19, with Black and other communities of color particularly at risk because they are more likely to be located near highways, power plants and other industrial facilities. Government measures for COVID-19 such as school and workplace closure, canceling public events, and stay-at-home requirements had the strongest effect on reducing nitrogen dioxide pollution levels, these researchers said. This is linked to the reduction in road transport and local mobility which is known to be a contributor to NO2 air pollution.
