Climate change is driving more intense and more frequent heat waves, which in turn generate a 'witch's brew' of pollutants, threatening the health of humans and other living things, the UN warned Wednesday.
Wildfire smoke is one the most visible signs of air pollution brought on by heat waves.
Climate change is driving more intense and more frequent heat waves, which in turn generate a"witch's brew" of pollutants, threatening the health of humans and other living things, the UN warned Wednesday. The wildfire smoke recently suffocating cities from Athens to New York may be the most visible sign of air pollution brought on by heat waves.can also induce a whole host of other chemical processes that are hazardous for human health, the United Nations' World Meteorological Organization said in its annual Air Quality and Climate Bulletin., with knock-on effects on human health, ecosystems, agriculture and indeed our daily lives," WMO chief Petteri Taalas said in a statement.
A recent study by the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago indicated that fine particulate air pollution from things like vehicle and industrial emissions but also sand and wildfires, is"the greatest external threat to public health" worldwide."They go hand-in-hand and must be tackled together to break this vicious cycle.
On Wednesday, the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service said the Earth had just had its hottest three months on record, with last July the hottest month ever recorded, followed by August and that 2023 was on track to become the hottest year on record.
