Global warming may worsen world`s well-being by 2.3 per cent by 2100: Study

A continued global warming could bring down the world`s emotional well-being by 2.3 per cent by 2100, according to a study that shows how climate change threatens one`s daily experience and not just health and economic stability. Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, among others in the US, analysed 1.2 billion social media posts of 2019 from 157 countries. Findings published in the journal One Earth show that daily maximum temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius can worsen people`s emotional well-being, with poorer countries impacted disproportionately -- almost thrice -- compared to richer ones. Policymakers cannot truly assess the social costs of climate change or design equitable interventions to protect citizens` physical and psyc...

Delhi adults inhaling twice as many microplastics in summer as in winter: Study

Adults in the national capital inhale almost twice as many microplastic particles in summer as they do in winter, with the estimated average daily exposure rising from 10.7 particles in the colder months to 21.1 in the hotter season -- a 97 per cent jump, according to a new study. The study, titled `Characterization and Health Risk Assessment of Airborne Microplastics in Delhi NCR`, a joint effort by researchers from the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, and the Department of Environmental Sciences at Savitribai Phule Pune University, said children and toddlers also face significant exposure. Children aged 6 to 12 inhale about 8.1 particles a day in winter, rising to 15.6 in summer, while toddlers aged between one to six breathe in 6.1...

Omega-3 fatty acid-rich diet may help decrease myopia risk in children: Study

A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids is not only good for adults, but also crucial to ward off the development of shortsightedness (myopia) in children, according to a global study. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs), which can only be obtained from the diet -- found predominantly in fish oils -- are thought to improve or prevent several chronic eye conditions, including dry eye disease and age-related macular degeneration. But whether they can help ward off myopia wasn`t clear, as studies to date have been experimental and haven`t included people. "This study provides the human evidence that higher dietary ω-3 PUFA intake is associated with shorter axial length and less myopic refraction, highlighting ω-3 PUFAs as a potential protective dietary factor against myopia developm...
