Premature mortality due to air pollution in European cities: a health impact assessment

Sasha Khomenko et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of air pollution on adult residents in nearly 1000 cities in Europe, finding that compliance with WHO air pollution guidelines could prevent a significant number of deaths. There were significant variations in air pollution effects among cities, indicating the need for urgent policy actions to reduce pollution and create healthier urban environments.

Racial, Economic, and Health Inequality and COVID-19 Infection in the United States

Vida Abedi et al.

Summary: This study reveals that there are racial, economic, and health disparities in the population infected by and dying from COVID-19 in the United States. Factors such as diverse demographics, education levels, income levels, poverty rates, and disabilities contribute to the risk of infection and mortality. Urban areas may have better access to care, whereas higher poverty and disability rates in some counties may result in a lower infection rate but a higher death rate due to comorbidities and limited healthcare access.
