Indians lose 5 years’ life to air pollution, Delhi worst at 12 years: Chicago university study
Tuesday, 29 August 2023 Fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) is estimated to shorten an average Indian’s life expectancy by 5.3 years and in Delhi, often labelled the most polluted city in the world, by as much as 11.9 years when compared to the World Health Organisation (WHO) standards of 5 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3), according to an updated Air Quality Life Index (AQLI) released by the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC).
New research shows that consistent exposure to wildfire smoke is reducing the expected life span for residents of California. The findings were released by the Air Quality Life Index of the University of Chicago’s Energy Policy Institute.
On May 3, 2024, a Supreme Court Bench signalled its inclination towards granting interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, taking into account the imminent Lok Sabha election. The bench deliberated on a plea submitted by the Chief Minister, contesting his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering case linked to the purported Delhi Excise policy scam.

Global Increase of , Neurological Disorders , 'Very Concerning,' Researchers Say.
'Newsweek' reports that a new study
warns that neurological disorders have
become more common worldwide.
According to a team of international researchers,
the number of people with such conditions has
risen "substantially" over the past thirty years.
These conditions include Alzheimer's disease,
as well as other forms of dementia,
meningitis and stroke. .
In 2021, the team found that 3.4 billion people had
one of these neurological conditions, accounting for
approximately 43% of the world's total population.
Researchers attribute the alarming
statistic to a rapidly aging population and
increases in lifestyle risk factors.

Because many neurological conditions
lack cures, and access to medical care
is often limited, understanding
modifiable risk factors and the
potentially avoidable neurological
condition burden is essential to
help curb this global health crisis, Katrin Seeher, study co-lead author and mental health
