The Indian Express | The Supreme Court said Delhi-NCR air pollution must be addressed year-round rather than only in winter, urged depoliticizing the stubble-burning debate, questioned its role as the primary cause, and asked the Centre to outline concrete short- and long-term measures before the next hearing on December 10.

European Environment Agency – European Union | An EEA report shows that although air-pollution-related health impacts in Europe have fallen significantly over the past two decades, with EU premature deaths from fine particulates down 57%, about 95% of urban residents are still exposed to pollution levels above WHO guidelines, underscoring the urgent need for stronger clean-air measures.

Sacramento Bee | The NWS San Diego issued an air quality alert affecting parts of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange counties from Sunday morning until Monday at 7:45 a.m.

Awaz The Voice | A large UCL-led study found that although regular exercise lowers the risk of death, long-term exposure to high levels of fine particulate air pollution substantially weakens these health benefits.

NDTV | Experts warn that Delhi’s persistently poor air quality requires urgent, long-term, year-round pollution control measures rather than short-term seasonal fixes.

News-Medical.net | A large international study found that while regular exercise lowers the risk of death, long-term exposure to high levels of fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) can significantly weaken these health benefits.

Euronews.com | A large international study found that while regular exercise strongly reduces the risk of death, its protective benefits drop sharply in areas with high air pollution, underscoring the need for cleaner air to maximize the health gains of physical activity.

Politico | States are delaying coal plant retirements to meet surging AI-driven electricity demand just as the Trump administration weakens pollution rules, a combination that increases coal use and heightens climate and public-health risks.

Newsweek | Thousands of residents in parts of California and Oregon were urged to stay indoors Thursday as several communities faced “unhealthy” air quality levels that pose heightened risks, especially for vulnerable groups.

Vajiram & Ravi | Delhi’s air-quality monitoring system relies on 40 CAAQMS stations using CPCB-approved methods to measure key pollutants, but frequent equipment failures, calibration issues, weather distortions, incomplete data, and gaps flagged by CAG audits significantly undermine the accuracy and reliability of the city’s AQI readings.
