A new study by a team from Brazil, with colleagues in the US, has shown that particulate pollution biomass burning in the Amazon induced inflammation, oxidative stress and severe DNA damage in human lung cells. After 72 hours of exposure, more than 30% of the cultured cells are dead, the researchers found.

The research, published in the Science of the Total Environment journal, presents the first real-world data linking EVs to reductions in air pollution and respiratory issues. Furthermore, the study showed a modest decrease in NO2 levels, a pollutant closely linked to traffic emissions.

Identical total annual emissions of sulfate and black carbon aerosol from eight major past, present, and potential future emitting regions (a) result in global-mean cooling spanning a 14x range (b, y-axis), differing substantially in the degree to which that cooling is felt in the emitting region (b, x-axis). This work is part of a larger $1.5-million
