Cutting emissions is not the only way to save lives from air pollution, according to new study Reducing population vulnerability is just as critical as cutting toxic air emissions for saving lives, according to the findings of a new study.

New research led by @sei.org challenges the global focus on air pollution, showing that a population’s capacity to be harmed by pollutants is determined by a complex web of socioeconomic and health factors 🫁
