“…39 Notably, when exposures are widespread, even small elevations in risk can result in significant increases in the burden of disease at the population level. 40 The WHO estimates that 91% of the global population is exposed to outdoor air pollutants in excess of current guidelines. 41 Given the ubiquity of this exposure, air pollution could represent a meaningful contributor to the global burden of psychiatric illness, particularly in poor airquality regions.…”

Association of Air Pollution Exposure in Childhood and Adolescence With Psychopathology at the Transition to Adulthood

Key Points Question Is exposure to outdoor air pollution in childhood and adolescence associated with the development of psychopathology at the transition to adulthood? Findings In this cohort study of 2039 UK-born children followed up for 2 decades, early-life exposure to nitrogen oxides was significantly associated with general psychopathology at 18 years of age, representing greater internalizing, externalizing, and thought disorder symptoms. The associations were not attributable to individual or family-level factors or to disadvantageous neighborhood characteristics. Meaning These findings suggest that exposure to nitrogen oxides in early life may be a nonspecific risk factor for the development of psychopathology as young people begin the transition to adulthood.

“…It has been reported that in 2019, air pollution caused more than 16.7 lakh deaths in India, causing economic losses of nearly $36.8 billion ( Pandey et al, 2020 ). India ranked 2nd in terms of coronavirus infected cases, having an infection count of about ~10 million by the end of 2020.…”

We explore the association of biomass-induced black carbon aerosolized virus with COVID-19 in one of the top-ranked polluted hot spot regions of the world, Delhi, at the time when other confounding factors were almost stable and the pandemic wave was on the declining stage. Delhi was worst affected by COVID-19. However, when it was fast returning back to normal after about 6 months with minimum fatalities, it suddenly encountered a reversal with a 10 fold increase in infection counts, coinciding with the onset of the stubble burning period in neighbouring states. We hereby report that the crop residue burning induced lethal aged Black carbon-rich particles which engulfs Delhi during the post-monsoon months of October–November are strongly associated with COVID-19 and largely responsible for the sudden surge. It is found that the virus efficacy is not necessarily related to any particulates but it is more of source-based toxicity of its component where the virus is piggybacking. We conclude that the aged biomass BC particles tend to aggregate and react with other compounds to grow in size, providing temporary habitat to viruses leading to the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases which declined after the crop burning stopped.

“…Air pollution, noise pollution, water pollution, and land pollution are the major types of atmospheric pollution. Among all types of pollution, air pollution is the major concern for future [7]. On the other hand, although diesel and petrol prices are rising rapidly, the mobility of people or even the transport of goods cannot be stopped [8].…”

Investigation of Perceived Risk Encountered by Electric Vehicle Drivers in Distinct Contexts

Not only pollution concerns, but also the rising prices of fuel used in conventional vehicles are enforcing people to make use of electric vehicles. In spite of numerous advantages such as pollution-free, noiseless smooth drive; there may be the new possibility of difficulties occurring due to the quiet nature of electric vehicles (EVs). To examine this, it was intended to conduct an extensive questionnaire survey with 398 driver participants to acquire technical data at Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). The analysis used a well-proven driver behaviour questionnaire (DBQ) built on a six-point scale to statistically evaluate driver behaviour responses to perceived risk. This study aims to evaluate the perceived risk encountered by drivers that influence road safety by considering age group, driving experience, and gender. A systematic ANOVA approach was employed to evaluate the significant factors. The results show that the perceived risk is different based on the gender of the driver, especially when parking the vehicle (p=0.000, F=10.11716>Fcrit). The moderate difficulty level for identifying the presence of electric vehicles is present in almost all situations; however, no significant difference was recorded based on gender, age, and driving experience in the rest of the cases. The outcome of the proposed work would be useful while designing the safety policy for electric vehicles.
