Assessing the health burden from air pollution. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38574150/)

These scientists wanted to understand how much harm air pollution causes to people's health in a more complete way. They decided to look at not just the direct effects of breathing in polluted air, but also how it can impact different aspects of our health. To do this, they collected information from many different sources and studied how air pollution can affect things like our lungs, heart, and overall well-being. By taking this broader approach, the scientists hoped to get a better understanding of the true burden of disease caused by air pollution.
