The latest data from AQLI is now available: Read the report and follow the reportage :). Read here: https://t.co/fOuNzuZ90o A short thread on the findings #1 Air pollution is the greatest threat to human life expectancy - shortening human lives by 1.9 years on average globally
NEW: Our 2024 #AQLIReport finds #AirPollution is reducing the avg person’s life expectancy by 1.9 yrs—or a combined 14.9B life-yrs lost worldwide—relative to the @WHO guideline. Most countries fail to set or meet their own standards for clean air. https://t.co/ekYgHY9559 🧵1/11

Fuel Ban in Delhi NCR - a thread. A lot of noise around Delhi’s 10 year diesel / 15 year petrol vehicle ban. We hear “It’s unfair”, “My car is roadworthy”, “Even fighter jets fly after 30 years!” So Let’s unpack this with facts, with emotions!. #DelhiPollution #CleanAir

Excited to speak at #ASIC2025 in Bangkok on Communication & Public Engagement Using Air Sensors! I’ve made a quick survey to understand how people engage with air quality data. Take a minute to fill it out—your input will be very valuable! https://t.co/Kij8AXaCGm

To understand why Krakow is an example for cities look at reducing their pollution concentrations, just see the chart below - from 40 ug/m3 to less than 20 ug/m3 in less than three decades - furthering life expectancy by 2 years... (Pollution data from WUSTL)
How can air quality data power a winning clean air campaign? In the first webinar of our Data to Demand to Action series, we look at the game-changing work of @alarm_smogowy, and uncover how data-driven advocacy turned demand into real action in Krakow! #CleanAir #DataForChange

This is not the kind of beginning to the new year I was expecting. For the new year - can we please call out pollution sources when we see one near us? All new year new me resolutions are inconsequential without clean air!!!
Open burning of waste in the heart of a residential north Kolkata locality. What’s amusing is the presence of a police station here. @kmc_kolkata how do we clamp this down?

The colour of the sky could be misleading. Blue skies don't mean clean air. Here's something we are doing to make air pollution more visible. Send in pictures of the sky from where you live and we'll tell you what it means for your life expectancy! @waqsouthasia @CLEANAirAfrica

Why do air quality standards (AQS) matter? They guide policy on air pollution and help benchmark progress in achieving clean air. Here is an opportunity for #COP29 presidency #Azerbaijan to strengthen air quality action by setting an ambitious AQS ! @COP29_AZ @Jane_Burston
As delegations across the globe meet in Azerbaijan for #COP29, the country has an opportunity to set an example for Europe and the world by adopting 10 ug/m3 as its standard, years ahead of the EU, finds new #AQLI analysis. 🧵 1/5 https://t.co/s8tzkV7sFy

This is largest crisis India faces today. And while people may say that people are aware about air pollution now - I vehemently disagree. On day like this, there are hardly any people wearing masks. This is beyond awareness now, this is about our life!

Just arrived in Delhi and recorded this during an evening walk—not to recommend walking in this pollution, but to show the harsh reality. Millions breathe this toxic air daily. Clean air isn't a luxury; it's a necessity. We must act together. 🌫️🌍 #CleanAirNow #AirPollution
