Big City Air Pollution
By Let's Talk Los Angeles on June 23, 2014
Residents of bulging metropolitan cities around the world should brace for an increase in stagnant, polluted air that hangs around for days as a result of climate change related shifts in wind and rainfall patterns, according to a new study. The findings highlight that one way global warming can compromise human health, which is the major thrust behind the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s recently proposed plan to curb power plant carbon emissions 30 percent by the year 2030. Poor air quality is related to a range of heart and lung complications that the World Health Organization estimates cause 3.7 million premature deaths a year.
