Since the 1980s, air pollution has increased worldwide, but it has increased at a much faster pace in regions close to the equator. The spatial distribution of emissions dominates global tropospheric ozone, suggesting that the future ozone burden will be determined mainly by emissions from low latitudes, they concluded.
