全球每年三百万人的过早死亡与空气污染有关?| Nature Podcast( 十 )



Interviewer: Adam Levy

But at present, it’s all too easy for policymakers around the world to do little about air pollution. There’s a disconnect between the cause and the death. But Jen hopes that studies like hers and Jos’ will help make the damage caused by air pollution that much more visible.



Interviewee: Jen Burney

It’s one thing to know that poor air quality is bad for health and it’s another to be able to say that more than 20% of infant deaths in sub-Saharan Africa in 2015 were due to excess pollution, and to be able to estimate what the benefits would be for a given amount of mitigation. So, we really do hope that by providing this kind of cross-benefit analysis, in some ways, that we can incentivise more action on air quality.
