Graphic of the week
12 October 2026 – Methane released by active and abandoned coal mines can travel across borders and react with sunlight and other gases to form ground-level ozone. This pollution can harm respiratory and cardiovascular health far from the mine. Ember estimates that one year of coal mine methane emissions is linked to 26,400 premature deaths over the following decades. Proven abatement technologies could prevent nearly half of this toll.
