"Unveiling the Health Risks of 'Safe' Air Quality Levels: A Comprehensive Study"

Two major studies have found that even low levels of PM2.5 air pollution, emitted from sources like cars and industrial processes, pose significant health risks, with no safe threshold for heart and lung health. Government regulations in the US, UK, and EU still allow for harmful levels of PM2.5, despite the World Health Organization's stricter guidelines. The recent US EPA standard, while an improvement, remains above the WHO limit, indicating that widespread harm to public health will persist. The studies emphasize the urgent need for more stringent measures to address the detrimental effects of air pollution on public health.
