Japan’s Air Pollution Crisis Hits Seniors Hard

Did you know Japan’s older adults are facing a hidden health crisis? Researchers found that fine particle pollution (PM2.5) is hitting people over 65 the hardest, especially those in rural areas with less access to healthcare. The scary part? Even moderate exposure can trigger strokes, heart attacks, and early death. With nearly a third of Japan’s population over 65, this isn’t just a personal issue—it’s a national emergency. Lawmakers are being urged to act fast to protect vulnerable seniors. Wild, right? #AirPollution #HealthCrisis #AgingPopulation #JapanNews #PublicHealth #Health
