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...

Climate, air pollution, and mortality.

Seasonal variation in disease has attracted the interest and speculation of writers since the days of Hippocrates (Greenwood, 1921). More recently Farr, in the course of his wide-ranging researches on 19th century vital statistics, published several studies relating to medical meteorology and drew attention to the excessive mortality that often occurred during periods of very low temperature (F...

Air pollution and brain damage.

Exposure to complex mixtures of air pollutants produces inflammation in the upper and lower respiratory tract. Because the nasal cavity is a common portal of entry, respiratory and olfactory epithelia are vulnerable targets for toxicological damage. This study has evaluated, by light and electron microscopy and immunohistochemical expression of nuclear factor-kappa beta (NF-kappaB) and inducibl...
