The impact of climate change on global air pollution is a new focus in atmospheric science but in a very initial stage and poorly understood so far. The climate factors modulating interannual variability of air quality remain undefined, contributing to complications in air quality management which ...
Air pollution has become a worldwide problem, which resulted in various environmental threats to the human beings and surface ecosystem. It is thus significant to clarify the sink/source process of atmospheric contaminants, such as the potentially toxic elements (PTEs). The rainfall process is a ...
, the aerosol cooling effect could be the main reason for the delayed trend of FirstEHD over NC, while the urbanization effect could be an important factor for the sharp advancing trend of FirstEHD in SC, as well as the negative trends of FirstEHD around the Beijing–Tianjin megacities. ...
(UHI) effect, referring to the higher temperature in cities compared to their natural surroundings. Besides the UHI effect and heat waves, urbanization also impacts atmospheric moisture, wind, boundary layer structure, cloud formation, dispersion of air pollutants, precipitation, and storms. In this ...
For technical validation, the multiyear raw climate outputs, observations, and bias-adjusted datasets were compared and analyzed. The mean values of ambient air temperature, relative humidity, global solar irradiance, and wind speed in the typical years during the historical period were compared to th...

Air pollution, Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Insulin Resistance, MetabolisMounting evidence supports that fine particulate matter adversely impacts cardio-metabolic diseases particularly in susceptible individuals; however, health effects induced by the extreme concentrations within megacities in Asia is not ...
urbanization is quite different from the possible influence of the human-induced increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration on large-scale extreme precipitation change, and the former has to be identified in the observations before any detection and attribution of global and regional climate change can ...
This study is an assessment of the effects of outdoor air pollution and extreme weather events on the health of outdoor workers in Delhi, including auto rickshaw drivers, street vendors, and sweepers. To carry it out, a cross-sectional and perception-based epidemiological research design was use...
