Scientists studied data across 116 countries over nearly two decades, publishing their findings in The Lancet Planetary Health journal on Tuesday. \u201cAntibiotic resistance and air pollution are each in their own right among the greatest threats to global health,\u201d said lead author Hong Chen from Zhejiang University in China.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers said that the misuse and overuse of antibiotics is still the main driver of antibiotic resistance but that the new analysis shows that air pollution could also be a contributing factor. The link between air pollution and antibiotic resistance also strengthened over time, the researchers said.<\/p>\n<p>The scientists found that antibiotic resistance increases with PM2.5, which are small particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometres. They are dangerous because they can get deep into people\u2019s lungs and even blood. More than four million people are estimated to die prematurely each year due to exposure to air pollution linked to these fine particles. This type of air pollution is caused by fossil fuel burning, cigarette smoke and forest fires among other sources. Every 1 per cent rise in air pollution was linked with increases in antibiotic resistance of between 0.5 and 1.9 per cent, according to the new analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/next\/2023\/08\/08\/scientists-find-air-pollution-may-be-driving-the-rising-threat-of-antibiotic-resistance\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-381\/\">Scientists find air pollution may be driving the rising threat of antibiotic resistance<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[536,3493,575],"class_list":["post-115969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-air-pollution","tag-antibiotics","tag-environmental-news-en"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115969"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115969\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
