One-third of global population at high ozone risk in 2026
A report from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service has shown that one-third of the world's population was exposed in 2026 to very high levels of ozone air pollution, resulting from heatwaves, wildfires, and human emissions. The study links climate change to the emergence of ozone pollution, as this pollution causes serious health problems including lung tissue damage, difficulty breathing, and asthma attacks. Pollution levels have risen particularly in Asia, North America, and Europe, with 34% of the global population experiencing "very bad" air quality. Efforts to reduce emissions are facing challenges due to the impact of climate change, which contributes to the formation and worsening of this environmental and health crisis.
