What Are Some Key Findings from Epidemiological Studies on Emission Levels?
Numerous studies have established a significant link between high emission levels and adverse health outcomes. For example, a landmark study in the United States found that every 10 µg/m3 increase in PM2.5 is associated with a 6% increase in the risk of death from all causes. Another study in Europe showed that children living near high-traffic areas had a higher incidence of asthma and other respiratory conditions.
