2🧵🧐 The study uses data modeling to make predictions. One research bit I found interesting is in the graph below, which shows #China having the highest & #India having the 2nd highest road-transport attributable premature deaths (but the countries also have the highest populations w/ much concentrated in cities) — And the #USA has the highest number of new pediatric #asthma cases 😳 #health #PublicHealth #VehicleEmissions #EVs #environment #MyThoughts -- Full study: https://theicct.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ID-611-%E2%80%93-GHS-update_report_final-2.pdf

3🧵 There is also considerable #disparity —both in current & projected health burden of road transport-related pollution — which affects lower-income more than higher-income countries. "The health burden of road transport pollution is distributed unequally, with low-income countries bearing a disproportionate and growing share..." #health #PublicHealth #IncomeDisparity #emissions #VehicleEmissions #environment #pollution #EVs #electrification

"Under current policies, high-income countries are projected to see a 48% decline in road transport-attributable premature deaths by 2050, while...lower-middle-income countries face increases of more than 200%."😳 BUT - "An accelerated transition to electrification could substantially narrow this disparity." 4🧵🧐 /end #health #PublicHealth #emissions #disparity #IncomeDisparity #VehicleEmissions #environment #pollution #EVs #electrification -- https://theicct.org/publication/health-benefits-of-zero-emission-transport-through-2050/

Health benefits of zero-emission transport through 2050 - International Council on Clean Transportation

This report quantifies the health impacts of road transport pollution under five scenarios — from current policies to a full global transition to zero-emission vehicles by 2045 — and finds that ambitious electrification could prevent 8.8 million premature deaths and 1.7 million new pediatric asthma cases through 2050.

"Emissions from road transport lead to 1 premature death every 45 seconds and trigger a new childhood asthma case every 2 minutes..." And "without an accelerated transition to electric vehicles the death toll will increase 74% by 2050" 😳 BUT "with ambitious vehicle #electrification, premature deaths can be cut by 63% and childhood asthma cases by 80%, preventing 8.8 million premature deaths between now and 2050." #health #PublicHealth #VehicleEmissions #EVs -- https://theicct.org/pr-vehicle-pollution-cuts-one-life-short-every-45-seconds-ambitious-electrification-could-save-8-8-million-by-2050/
