One good example of the nexus between global warming and local pollution is ground-level ozone. A study of the causes of the explosion suggested the need for stronger safety regulations. To make matters worse, NOx contributes to the formation of ground-level ozone and secondary PM2.5,

5] Additionally, the reaction of these volatile chemicals contributes to ground-level ozone production, which, unlike ozone in the stratosphere, is hazardous to human health. Secondary organic aerosol is important because it makes up a significant fraction of particulate matter.[5] The volatile chemical precursors (e.g.,

When the IMO’s regulation to cut SO x emissions went into effect in 2020, LNG became a growing alternative fuel choice for marine transportation. Methane emissions, which can result from the production and consumption of LNG, are linked to significant impacts on air quality by influencing concentrations of ground-level ozone.

Correspondingly, in the US, land use laws aim at environmental protection after urban development but no specific regulation addresses the UHIE. Third, current building regulation is opaque, inconsistent, and unpopular with developers. Cutting these figures in half. through green-roofs would mitigate climate change significantly.
