Air Pollution and Climate Change

Air Pollution and Climate Change

Reducing black carbon emissions benefits both climate and health 4 Research concludes that reducing black carbon emissions would prevent millions of premature deaths as well as helping meet climate change mitigation targets. Do climate policies need a ‘pollution safety margin’? 5 Climate change policies may need to make greater GHG reductions in order to accommodate the warming of reduced air p...

Climate change and air pollution

e observational evidence indicates that recent regional changes in climate, particularly temperature increases, have already a ected a diverse set of physical and biological systems in many parts of the world. Allergens patterns are also changing in response to climate change and air pollution can modify the allergenic potential of pollen grains especially in the presence of speci c weather con...

Air Quality Impacts and Benefits under U.S. Policy for Air Pollution, Climate Change, and Clean Energy

Policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions can also reduce outdoor levels of air pollutants that harm human health by targeting the same emissions sources. However, the design and scale of these policies can affect the distribution and size of air quality impacts, i.e. who gains from pollution reductions and by how much. Traditional air quality impact analysis seeks to address these question...
