How Geoengineering May Increase Passengers' Exposure to Sulfuric Acid

Geoengineering could expose plane passengers to sulphuric acid

A proposed technique to counter global warming by spraying sun-reflecting particles near the poles would cause commercial flights to pass through clouds of sulphuric acid, posing a danger to passengers and crew

How Geoengineering May Increase Passengers' Exposure to Sulfuric Acid

Commercial airliners may fly through sulfuric acid clouds if solar geoengineering plans proceed Alexander Magurean/Getty Images Spraying solar-reflecting particles near the poles to combat global warming raises serious concerns about exposing passengers on commercial flights to hazardous levels of sulfuric acid. As global temperatures could rise by up to 3.7°C by 2100, the concept of [...] The post How Geoengineering May Increase Passengers’ Exp…
