"On their own, #BVOCs are benign. However, once they react with oxygen, they produce organic aerosols. As they're inhaled, these aerosols can cause infant mortality and childhood asthma, as well as heart disease and lung cancer in adults." #problems

"The researchers hope the potential to improve air quality will #inspire swift and decisive action to decrease #CO2 #emissions. Without it, temperatures may increase 4°C by the end of this century, though it's possible for the increase to happen sooner."
The projected future degradation in air quality is caused by more abundant natural aerosols in a warmer world
