“…These changes could potentially result in changes in the incidence of various health effects, including respiratory symptoms in children, as well as long-term outcomes that manifest as the children transition into adulthood [55]. New evidence has also been documented on the adverse health effects of air pollution at lower exposure levels, indicating the challenges in the areas [61].…”

“…The global trend in air pollution has shown a decrease in high-income countries due to regulations, yet it remains a significant concern in LMICs [61]. Anticipated in 2050, there is an expected rise in premature deaths attributed to exposure to particulate matter and ground-level ozone, with the highest likelihood occurring in China and India [62].…”

Background:The United Nations has declared that humans have a right to clean air. Despite this, many deaths and disability-adjusted life years are attributed to air pollution exposure each year. We face both challenges to air quality and opportunities to improve, but several areas need to be addressed with urgency.Objective: This paper summarises the recent research presented at the Pacific Basin Consortium for Environment and Health Symposium and focuses on three key areas of air pollution that are important to human health and require more research. Findings and conclusion:Indoor spaces are commonly places of exposure to poor air quality and are difficult to monitor and regulate. Global climate change risks worsening air quality in a bi-directional fashion. The rising use of electric vehicles may offer opportunities to improve air quality, but it also presents new challenges. Government policies and initiatives could lead to improved air and environmental justice. Several populations, such as older people and children, face increased harm from air pollution and should become priority groups for action.
