A new study published today in ⁦@TheLancetPlanet⁩ found that long-term exposure to air pollution increased deaths by 1.5 million deaths per year in India, when compared to conditions if India met the ⁦⁦@WHO’s ⁩standards. ⁦@WHOSEARO⁩ https://t.co/beEyhC2opB

New evidence shows that one in four deaths between 2009 and 2019 is linked to PM 2.5, one of the most dangerous pollutants commonly monitored.

New report with shocking numbers: #AirPollution caused 16.6 mill deaths over a decade in India, 1/4 of all deaths. Tiny particles, PM2.5 impact cardiovascular health, causing NCDs, and worst case: death. Tighter AQ standards clearly needed https://t.co/5LWvYTm55g

Exciting opportunity!

The @geohealthindia Hub, led by the @INDIACCDC and the @HarvardChanSPH in collaboration with the @CHART_TSB, @AshokaUniv (AU) and @karolinskainst (KI), has announced a #shortcourse on “Environmental Epidemiology and Cardiovascular Health.”

Scheduled from February 3-6, 2025, at the @AMRITAedu (AIMS), Kochi. The course explores the impact of environmental exposures—like air pollution, temperature, green spaces, and noise—on cardiovascular health. It includes theoretical lectures and hands-on workshops with statistical analyses.

The course is ideal for researchers and post-graduates in public health, environmental health, or related disciplines.

Know more about the course here: https://t.co/idyvYN9zej

The last date to apply is January 2, 2025. Register here: https://t.co/TRVYVSDorK

[Ashoka University @AshokaUniv]

Consortium for Climate, Health and Air pollution Research in India (CHAIR-India), in a new study published in the Lancet Planetary Health, revealed that long term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution concentrations higher than the 5 μg/m³ annual average recommended by the WHO is potentially associated with 1.5 million deaths a year in India. According to the findings, the 1.4 billion people in India live in areas with PM2.5 concentrations above that recommended by the WHO guidelines.

This is the first Indian study to use difference-in-difference method, a causal methodology to isolate the effect of long-term PM2.5 exposure (annual) and all-cause mortality. The study observed that the risk is high even at lower air pollution levels, indicating the need to reduce air pollution levels across the country. It included annual death data reported across all districts and PM2.5 exposure from a spatio-temporal model built for India.

@mendel_random I remember meeting you at the CCDC office in Gurgaon in 2023 along with my colleague Gagandeep. I promised to share my paper when it's published.

[Ground Report @GReportIndia]

A study by Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet reveals that air pollution in India caused 3.8 million deaths between 2009 and 2019. The research highlights the urgent need for stricter air quality standards and pollution reduction efforts.
