It perturbs the Earth’s radiative energy balance and alters the atmospheric oxidation capacity, which determines the lifetimes of short-lived climate forcers, such as methane1. A key mechanism in this dynamic is the impact of air pollutants on the hydroxyl radical (OH), the most important ...
A study was made to determine a more comprehensive method of estimating the impact of an air pollutant on a region''s economy. To do this, a Leontief input-output model of Clinton County, Pennsylvania was employed. Economic and related changes were simulated with the model by making ...
