    Researchers at the University of Pretoria studied the relationship between air pollution, temperature, and respiratory hospital admissions in three major South African cities. They found that higher levels of air pollution and temperature were associated with more respiratory hospital admissions for diseases like pneumonia and COPD. Their results suggest that reducing air pollution and mitigating temperature increases from climate change could help reduce the burden of respiratory disease in South Africa.
