Decoding the ICCT report on health impacts from vehicular pollution

The first-ever comprehensive assessment of health impacts of global transport emissions, just released by the United States (US)-based International Council of Clean Transportation (ICCT), has exposed the lethal health effects of vehicular fumes across major vehicle markets of the world.

This new study — A global snapshot of the air pollution-related health impacts of transportation sector emissions in 2010 and 2015 — has been conducted by the researchers from the ICCT, George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health, and the University of Colorado Boulder and has linked vehicle emissions, air pollution, and epidemiological models to estimate health impacts at the global, regional, national, and local levels in 2010 and 2015.
