Since the 1980s, air pollution has increased worldwide, but it has increased at a much faster pace in regions close to the equator. The work provides strategic insight on where in the world to reduce emissions of pollutants that form ozone. Jason West, corresponding author. —Owen R. Cooper, co-author. Yuqiang Zhang, Owen R.
