Our ozone layer serves as a lifesaving UV barrier for planet earth, functioning to absorb most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation. At the same time, ground-level ozone pollution is extremely harmful to human health. As the complexity of ozone pollution is often misunderstood, let's take a closer look at this particular pollutant.

Unlike some of the other major air pollutants that affect our health, such as ground-level ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), and carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter is the only example that isn’t a gas. But what exactly is PM pollution and how does it affect us? Where does Particulate Matter Come From?

This latest report looks at mitigation — or what the world can do to stop pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Countries will also have to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to keep global warming in check. EPA – Public Meetings of the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee Ozone Panel (April 29).

The SCC is a metric that seeks to capture all of the costs that emitting a ton of carbon dioxide (or equivalent amounts of other greenhouse gases such as methane) imposes on society by contributing to climate change over the hundreds of years it remains in the atmosphere. What Are the Key Variables Affecting the SCC Amount?
