Climate change may make it harder to reduce smog in some regions

Global warming will likely hinder our future ability to control ground-level ozone, a harmful air pollutant that is a primary component of smog, according to a new MIT study.

Ozone reduction strategies likely to be affected by climate change

A new study has found that climate change is likely to make it harder to control ground-level ozone, which can trigger a variety of health problems among children, the elderly and people with lung diseases such as asthma. The team from MIT found that as the planet warms, strategies that currently reduce ozone, such as cutting nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from vehicles and industry, may become less effective in some regions. The researchers use…
