A new study by Lutz Sager of ESSEC Business School reveals that global inequality in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution exposure has significantly increased between 2000 and 2020. The research indicates that disparities are more pronounced between countries than within them, with Asia and Africa experiencing rising pollution levels while Europe and North America see decreases. The study identifies a 'choking billion' – one billion people facing extremely high pollution levels, with nearly half residing in India, and highlights that the health burden from this pollution is even more unequally distributed than the exposure itself.
