Researchers in Singapore have found that worsening air pollution as a result of climate change could be linked to a jump in premature deaths in Asia. The main culprit is PM2.5 particles, which are about 30 times smaller than an average strand of hair. Vehicle emissions and industrial processes can intensify the concentration of PM2.5. Two of the study's authors, Associate Professor Steve Yim and Professor Joseph Sung from the Nanyang Technological University, shared more about their observations after analysing data from 1980 to 2020.
