Climate Change Weakens Respiratory Health Benefits of Clean Air and Greenspaces

Swiss TPH "A study by Swiss TPH, in collaboration with European research partners, provides critical insights into the interplay of air pollution, greenspace, and temperature on respiratory health. Using data from long-term cohort studies, the findings, published recently in Environment International, reveal that while improved air quality and increased greenspace benefit lung health, climate change significantly diminishes these positive effects."
