The Impacts of Oil and Gas Consumption on Life Expectancy

This research aims to fill a notable need in current scholarly works by investigating the often-neglected impact of fossil fuel consumption, particularly oil and gas, on life expectancy. To examine the correlation between economic growth, national healthcare spending, and oil and gas usage on life...
