Starting in 2015, India and China, thought to be the main emitters of HFC-23, announced ambitious plans to abate emissions in factories that produce the gas. When we saw the reports of enormous emissions reductions from India and China, we were excited to take a close look at the atmospheric data.

China, North India and the Middle East are expected to be especially affected by a drastic decrease in air quality. The authors said their study is the first to include all five major air pollutants known to negatively impact human health: nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, ozone, carbon monoxide and particulate matter smaller than 2.5

NO 2 is just one component of air pollution, which is made up of many pollutants (including particulate matter, ozone, carbon monoxide), which are known to have numerous adverse effects on health. Among the 125 cities, NO 2 accounted for 6% (Orlu, Nigeria) to 48% (Shanghai, China) of pediatric asthma incidence.

For this they used the PSI smog chamber, in which processes in the atmosphere can be simulated. The researchers injected a droplet of ?-pinene pinene and similar molecules.

These results were compared with observations of ozone, CO, formaldehyde, BC, and PM 10 from a few well observed urban areas, and in most of the cases, the output distributions were found to be within ranges of the observations. Cohen and Prinn used meteorological and emissions data from 16 representative urban areas.

Next-generation standards would target new reductions in emissions of NO x and non-methane hydrocarbons (HC), which are precursors to ozone and secondary particulate matter. China and India will bear the two largest single-country health risks, accounting for 65% of the global increase in early deaths by 2030 without further policy action.

And so back in, I believe it was the 80s, it might have been earlier than that, Paul Knutson who famously identified the ozone whole problem, he put forward the idea that putting material in the stratosphere might be an interesting way to reflect sunlight to cool the planet. And that was based on observations of volcanoes.
