@bespacific i wonder what that investigation would find in asia. AQI scores here remain far above what’s typically seen just about anywhere over there (though poland is the ashen lung of europe for sure)
@cultdev #Toxicair #endangers 600 million people in #SouthAsia. The Air Quality Life Index, released by the Energy Policy Institute, University of Chicago, in September, describes South Asia as "consistently the most #polluted region with the people there seeing their lives shortened by an average of five years relative to what it would be if the region met the #WHO guidelines." https://aqli.epic.uchicago.edu/the-index/
The Air Quality Life Index (AQLI)

Produced by the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC), The Air Quality Life Index, converts air pollution concentrations into their impact on life expectancy.
