A Year of Air Quality Awareness

2024 was a year marked by increased global awareness of air quality issues. Our blog, See The Air, played a pivotal role in disseminating critical information and fostering a community of informed individuals.

With over 196K users visiting our site, primarily through Google Search and LinkedIn, we are proud to have contributed to a more informed and healthier world.

The recent updates to the PM2.5 limits by the European Union and the US EPA signify a significant step forward in prioritizing public health. By lowering the acceptable levels of these harmful fine particulate matter, these regulatory bodies are acknowledging the strong scientific evidence linking PM2.5 exposure to respiratory diseases, heart problems, and premature death. These stricter standards will drive efforts to reduce air pollution from industrial emissions, transportation, and other sources, ultimately leading to cleaner air and healthier populations.

2022 was a year full of air quality news. Lots of scientific research and publications on how air pollution influences the health of individuals, but also the same bad patterns; wildfires, traffic, wood burning, crop burning, industrial malpractices, etc. For reference, kids who breathe polluted air can fall behind in school link, air pollution linked to a million stillbirths a year link, tiny particles in the air can cause sudden heart attacks link, air pollution during pregnancy and neurodevelopment in children link, and unfortunately many many more.

An important good piece of news was the new ‘Ella Bill’ to enshrine right to clean air. Thank you Rosamund Adoo Kissi Debrah.
