Climate Change, Air Pollution and Public Health

Climate change is the universal phenomenon leaves no part of the world untouched for the more than tow decade scientists have indicated that the earth’s climate is rapidly changing. Air pollutants are under scientific scrutiny not only for what they do to our lungs and health, but also how they enhance climate impacts and associated health risks. Science does not allow us to keep the local public health impacts of air pollution and the global warming impacts of green house gases in silos any more. The emerging science has given us more reasons to be worried about air pollution. This demands an integrated frame work for mitigation to minimize public health risk.
