Telegraph: Professor Sir Malcolm Green, the founder of the British Lung Foundation, says people with lung and heart problems may need to take greater care due to a health alert triggered by a cloud of toxic smog along with air pollution from Europe. This week, local pollution is combining with a cloud of smog that has moved over from Europe, where milder weather has also caused traffic pollution to build up, causing levels to soar above average. People with lung and heart problems are advised to minimise...

Agence France-Presse: The Eiffel tower disappeared behind a brown smog on Wednesday as Paris and much of northern France suffered a spike in pollution. The pollution levels are consistent. If we dont go over the alert level, we wont be far away, said Airparif, the body responsible for monitoring air quality in the greater Paris region. In Paris, authorities measure the concentration of particulates with a diameter of less than 10 microns so-called PM10 in the air to determine pollution levels. These particulates...

National Geographic: It may be the biggest success story in environmental health in modern America. Children in the Los Angeles region have substantially healthier lungs than they did just 20 years ago, thanks largely to multibillion-dollar efforts to clean up southern California's infamous smog and soot. In landmark research published Wednesday, University of Southern California scientists found that kids in the region are breathing better than they did in 1994, and the percentage of kids with abnormally poor...

New York Times: Proof of the grave air pollution problem confronting India is seen not just in the suffocating smog that on many days crowds out the sun in New Delhi, the worlds most polluted city. It can be measured as well in the fact that the country has the worlds highest death rate from chronic respiratory diseases, which kill an estimated 1.5 million Indians every year. A 2014 World Health Organization report concluded of the 20 most polluted cities in the world, India has 13. After years of denial and...
