Millions of Britons face higher risk of heart failure due to dirty air, study suggests

A recent study suggests that millions of Britons face a higher risk of heart-related health issues due to air pollution in their local areas. The research found that people living in the most polluted regions of the UK are 27% more likely to develop heart failure compared to those residing in the cleanest air zones. Additionally, the stroke risk is 7% higher in areas with the worst level of air pollution. The findings highlight the significant impact that poor air quality can have on cardiovascular health, underscoring the need for urgent action to address this environmental challenge and protect public wellbeing.
