Lower Ozone levels in Houston linked to climate change
2015-05-18 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Researchers at the University of Houston have determined that climate change -- in the form of a stronger sea breeze, the result of warmer soil temperatures -- contributed to the drop in high-ozone days in the Houston area. Robert Talbot, professor of atmospheric chemistry, said that also should be true for coastal regions globally. The researchers describe their findings in a paper published this week in the journal Atmosphere. In addition to Talbot, they include first author Lei Liu, a doctoral...

Ozone air pollution could harm women's fertility
2015-03-29 20:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: any urban and suburban areas have high levels of ground-level ozone, an air pollutant that can adversely affect lung and heart health. New research in mice suggests breathing high levels of ozone could also affect women's ability to conceive. In some areas, ozone can reach high levels in the summer because the bright sunlight and heat combine with compounds from industrial emissions, car exhaust, and gasoline vapors to form the air pollutant. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency uses the color-coded...
