Urban CO2 Domes May Enhance May Increase Ozone and PM, With Accompanying Increase in Mortality

Green Car Congress

While the existence of higher CO 2 levels overs cities—CO 2 domes—has been known for more than a decade, their effects on local air pollution has up to now not been explored. As such, reducing locally emitted CO 2 may reduce local air pollution mortality even if CO 2 in adjacent regions is not controlled. Jacobson, 2010. Mark Jacobson.
