  • Nelson A. Rosario, MD, PhD, presented the case for "The Effect of Climate Change on Pollen Allergy and Respiratory Allergic Diseases. (medscape.com)
  • However, pollutants such as chlorinated pesticides, dioxins and PCBs have become resident within alpine glaciers worldwide, and can be found in glacier ice cores and meltwater (Blais et al. (umaine.edu)
  • Hua studies the way pollutants -- be they pesticides, other chemical contaminants or even light and noise -- can upset natural ecosystems. (sciencedaily.com)
  • As we discussed in a recent review article, studies have found pollutants in dust storms that include bioreactive metals such as copper, chromium, nickel, lead and zinc , as well as pesticides, herbicides, radioactive particulates and aerosolized sewage. (arcamax.com)
  • At the same time, climate change is having a negative impact on urban areas, e.g., resulting in more days of stagnant urban atmosphere and heat. (springer.com)
  • These findings refute the view held by other scientists who believed that the atmosphere is very sensitive to air pollutants (Science, January 7, 2011). (mpg.de)
  • Hydroxyl radicals are a key component of the self-cleaning capacity of the atmosphere, as they rid the air of many dangerous pollutants. (mpg.de)
  • However for many years it was unclear how well the atmosphere could actually oxidize pollutants. (mpg.de)
  • Our findings will make predictions about the climate and global air quality more reliable, because we can now better describe the composition of the atmosphere with the aid of computer models. (mpg.de)
  • As for last year, the level of all four major pollutants met the city's own air quality objectives, which are benchmarked against the WHO's interim goals. (scmp.com)
  • We focused on the Center for Climate, Air, and Energy Solutions' (CACES) four major focus areas: electricity production, transportation, land use, and climate change. (epa.gov)
  • In contrast, reducing both CO2 and other climate pollutants simultaneously would significantly improve our chance of remaining below the 1.5 degree centigrade mark. (duke.edu)
  • Data attained from sampling glacial meltwater and ice cores provided a framework for understanding the pollutants contained in the glacier, and helped us in determining potential effects of increased chemical influx on the watershed. (umaine.edu)
  • According to the simulations, the results have shown that climate variables have effects on air pollutants due to the different terms such as seasons, months. (cu.edu.tr)
  • New chemicals, with similar effects to the effects of known pollutants, are constantly developed and used. (washington.edu)
  • We will update our results with better informed input variables from our review, to identify the true independent effects of the pollutants. (bmj.com)
  • The infographic is also showing the effects of climate change in these areas. (edrawsoft.com)
  • perception of scientific consensus appears to have genuine predictive effects on attitudes and beliefs about climate change. (skepticalscience.com)
  • Photographer Konsta Punkka spent a year documenting the life in the stations, the effects of climate change and the precious nature we must protect. (lu.se)
