A study by a team of researchers from China, the US and Germany suggests that future climate change may worsen air quality for more than 85% of China’s population, leading to an additional 20,000 deaths each year. and ozone exposure, respectively. and ozone exposure, respectively.

The decrease in CO 2 equivalent emissions of ODSs (ozone-depleting substances: CFCs, halons, HCFCs, and others) may be offset by the projected increase in their non-ozone depleting substitutes (HFCs) (lines designated as HFC scenarios). The contribution of HFCs to climate forcing is currently less than 1% of all greenhouse gases.

Compared to the 2010 “Business as Usual” scenario—which includes all adopted emission control measures for the South Coast—NO x levels must be reduced by 65% and by 75% to meet the 2023 and 2032 ozone standards, respectively. California’s Climate Protection Strategies do not help meet NAAQS Standards. Click to enlarge.

Air quality co-benefits are additional to climate benefits realized from reduced CO 2 emissions.). In a paper published in the journal Nature Climate Science , the MIT researchers took a systems-level approach to analyzing how climate policies influence air quality, focusing on US emissions of O 3 and PM 2.5
