Let's Talk About Health - Ep. 30 - Air and Health

Air pollution is one of the greatest environmental health risks in the Americas, causing around 370,000 premature deaths annually in the region. In this episode of *Hablemos de salud* (Let’s Talk Health), we speak with Juan José Castillo, PAHO’s Air Quality Advisor, about how pollution affects our respiratory, cardiovascular, and cognitive systems; who the most vulnerable groups are; and what measures individuals, communities, and governments can take to reduce its impact. It is a crucial conversation for understanding why improving air quality is one of the most effective ways to protect everyone's health.
