To protect public health, we need to take cost-effective measures to slash greenhouse gases now and continue to ratchet down all sources of smog-forming emissions and harmful soot and particles. Our study reveals that climate change and regional air pollution are intertwined problems. Tags: Climate Change Emissions.
