🌬️ Europe's air quality is improving and it is good news for people and the environment.

A new assessment from @CopernicusEU CAMS shows that decades of cleaner technologies and effective policies continue to reduce emissions across Europe.

But the job is far from done...

Can Cities Measure Heat and Pollution Together? @IITKgp Researchers Have the Answer

How vulnerable is a city when rising temperatures and worsening air pollution interact simultaneously?

Researchers from IIT Kharagpur's Centre for Ocean, River, Atmosphere and Land Science (CORAL), Prof. Jayanarayanan Kuttippurath and VK Patel, have developed the Urban Heat and Pollution Index (UHPI) — a first-of-its-kind scientific framework that integrates Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects and air pollution exposure into a single health-risk assessment tool.

Published in Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering, the study uses Delhi as a case study and reveals how densely urbanised and industrial regions experience significantly higher combined heat and pollution stress, while greener and well-planned urban zones remain comparatively resilient. The UHPI framework provides policymakers, urban planners, and public health authorities with a powerful new tool to identify environmental hotspots, assess cumulative exposure risks, and design healthier, climate-resilient, and more sustainable cities.

As cities worldwide confront the dual challenges of climate change and deteriorating air quality, this research offers a scalable pathway towards evidence-based urban planning and improved public health outcomes.

📌Is the national capital finally beginning to clean up its act? On June 1, 2026, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) stated that India’s capital city had recorded its cleanest air in the January-May period in the last eight years.

📌The average Air Quality Index (AQI) during the first five months in 2026 improved to 211. Contrast this with the figures recorded for the same period in other years: 214 (2025), 231 (2024), 213 (2023), 238 (2022), 235 (2021), 237 (2019) and 243 (2018).

📌 According to the CAQM, this is the lowest average AQI recorded in Delhi in the past eight years, apart from 2020. That year saw unusually low pollution levels due to pandemic-related restrictions.

📌The national capital also witnessed a higher number of days with relatively cleaner air during the January-May period this year.

📌While the month of May this year was marked by heatwave spells, unusually warm nights, and occasional thunderstorms, authorities in Delhi have also made efforts to control pollution in the national capital.

📌And while there is still a lot of achieve in the fight against air pollution in Delhi, the city can take heart from this small success for now.

Methane is a precursor of tropospheric ozone, a powerful air pollutant linked with roughly one million premature deaths per year due to respiratory diseases.

🚨 ATTENTION 🚨
India is in a state of emergency! ⚠️

According to the 2023 World Air Quality Report by Swiss air quality monitoring authority @IQAir, India is the world's 3rd most polluted country. 😰
This isn't just a number - it's a #healthcrisis demanding immediate action‼️

#WATCH our video to learn about the key takeaways, understand where our nation currently stands concerning the #AirQuality crisis, and #takeaction to improve the air quality of India.

This new paper is pretty conclusive... It finds that reductions in anthropogenic aerosols between 2001 and 2019 have increased the effective radiative forcing on Earth, and thanks to air quality legislation "we may expect an accelerated surface temperature warming in this decade"

Air pollution is the root cause of around 1,000 deaths in Brussels every year, and while the Region has implemented measures to improve air quality, the situation remains worrying, especially in poorer neighbourhoods. https://t.co/7cXf9RIqIZ

Less #AirPollution means better health.

New study adds evidence that health benefits from reducing #AirPollution may be greater than current data suggests.
