Among the many climate-related vulnerabilities that can impact its mission, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cites a likely increase in tropospheric ozone pollution as potentially making it more difficult to attain National Ambient Air Quality Standards ( NAAQS ) in many areas with existing ozone problems.

The $461,000-project, titled “Heterogeneous Aging Mechanisms of Combustion and Biomass Burning Emissions,” will focus on how gases, such as ozone, react with pollutants emitted from power plants and forest fires. Both types of emissions cause tiny particles to be suspended in air. —Prof.

ppm in 2015 because of a combination of human activities and a strong El Niño event. It also plays an important role in the destruction of the stratospheric ozone layer which protects us from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. Globally averaged concentrations of CO 2 reached 403.3 parts per million in 2016, up from 400.00

The study found that clinically healthy children who live in a polluted environment and who also carry a gene—the apolipoprotein ?4 4 carriers could have a higher risk of developing early Alzheimer’s disease if they reside in a polluted urban environment. The results add to growing data suggesting ?4

The solicitation is putting less emphasis on model building, and greater emphasis on predictability studies, such as those involving extreme events; prediction and attribution; upscaling/downscaling; and interactions between natural and human systems.

We see it as similar to the ozone hole problem, where we really needed a tight, science-based focus on the limits to human inputs to the system--and howthose inputs affected the ozone layer's ability to keep people safe. In almost all previous projections for climate, tipping events like these were far in the future.

The report released by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), entitled Climate Change Science Compendium 2009 , highlights new research that identifies some events thought likely to occur in longer-term time horizons as already happening or set to happen far sooner than had previously been thought.
