"The weather factors that drive heat waves also contribute to intensified surface ozone and air pollution episodes," said UCI professor of Earth system science Michael J. Prather's group made the findings after examining 15 years of surface observations (1999-2013) for the eastern United States and Canada. "These conditions increase the emission of biogenic volatile organic compounds, which boost the production of surface ozone and other aerosols," said lead author Jordan Schnell, a postdoctoral researcher at UCI when the study was conducted who is now at Princeton University. "It's important to study the combined effects of pollution and prolonged heat events because we expect these conditions to become more prevalent in a warming climate," Prather said.
Heat waves are caused because of the new climate changes we are having. As our technology improves there are better ways to help climate change and make it so the weather wont be as messed up. We need to protect our health and our planets health.
