Global Air Pollutants on the Rise

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has released its Air Quality and Climate Bulletin, revealing that global air pollution is worsening. WMO scientists note that due to climate change, wildfire seasons are intensifying and extending year by year. The fine particulate matter emitted by wildfires can travel across the globe, contributing to declining air quality worldwide. However, eastern China and parts of Europe have achieved some success in reducing emissions through targeted measures.
