Southeast Asia's changing landscape is fueling a deadly air crisis that costs billions

Changes in land-use across Southeast Asia over the past 15 years are worsening air quality and contributing to thousands of excess deaths each year, according to a study led by researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore).

Community air monitoring project finds South #Memphis is regularly exposed to unsafe #AirPollution

South Memphis neighborhoods are being exposed to air pollution levels that exceed the Environmental Protection Agency’s standards for public health. This is the latest development in the majority-Black community’s continuing fight for stricter pollution limits and enforcement in the increasingly industrialized area that is now home to a refinery, manufacturing facilities, power plants and xAI’s Colossus #DataCenter and the gas turbines that power it. Just across the state line, additional data centers and power plants are taking shape in #Mississippi and #Arkansas.

“Researchers found that breathing more air pollution during pregnancy, infancy and early childhood can slow lung development all the way up to early adulthood. The greatest impact was during adolescence, which is the time when lung growth accelerates.” #AirPollution
