"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Better mental health, lowered risk of heart disease, and slimmer waistlines are all well-known health benefits of regular exercise. But a new study suggests some of the advantages gained by getting active may be reduced simply by where you live. Scientists found those who exercised regularly but were exposed to highly polluted air appeared to see mortality benefits gained by exercising slashed in half."
A news outlet requests donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and to keep reporting freely accessible without paywalls. A large international study of more than 1.5 million adults tracked over a decade analysed exercise habits alongside PM2.5 exposure. At least two-and-a-half hours of moderate or vigorous exercise per week was associated with about a 30% lower mortality risk. High exposure to fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) appeared to roughly halve those mortality benefits from regular exercise across multiple countries.
