Mitigating air pollution: planetary health awaits a cosmopolitan moment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We live in a so-called risk society. The renowned sociologist and social thinker Ulrich Beck defines a risk society as an inescapable structural condition of advanced industrialisation.1 No doubt, industrialisation has transformed economies across the world, but it has also altered the balance of the ecosystem.2 Air pollution, an outcome of industrialisation as well as urbanisation has emerged as an important risk factor for human health and beyond. Air pollution is a leading contributor to non-communicable diseases and accounts for 22% of all deaths from cardiovascular disease, 26% of deaths from ischaemic heart disease, 25% of deaths from stroke, 53% of deaths from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and 40% of deaths from lung cancer.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
