Air pollution particles don't just enter your lungs, they attach themselves to red blood cells and move around the whole body.
We don't breathe them out, so pollution accumulates in the body causing organ damage, dementia and more.
Reduce emissions and clear the air.

I inhaled traffic fumes to find out where air pollution goes in my body
BBC health correspondent James Gallagher gets his blood analysed to understand how air pollution is killing us.

Sand & dust storms (SDS) are major hazards.
This month, Libya was hit by winds of up to 80 km/h.
Libya’s NMHS issued forecasts & warnings to keep casualties to a minimum.
WMO seeks to strengthen operational forecasting to reduce the impacts of SDS.

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.
