Health and air pollutant emission impacts of net zero CO2 by 2050 scenarios from the energy modeling forum 37 study
Journal Article Energy and Climate Change · December 1, 2024 Carbon dioxide and non-greenhouse gas air pollutants are emitted from many of the same sources. Decarbonization actions thus typically yield air pollutant emission reductions, resulting in significant air quality benefits. Although several studies have hig ...
