Air Quality

Poor air quality has a multitude of negative consequences including human health impacts, global warming, acid rain, ozone depletion, and extreme nitrogen deposition. Mitigating these impacts requires the development of technologies, policies, and behaviors that reduce emissions. Researchers at UC Davis study the impacts of and solutions to air quality issues.
