sources include vehicle emissions, coal-burning power plants, industrial emissions, and burning agricultural waste. m/m3 was exceeded in 43% of all the cities analyzed, while in 2019 this had dropped to only 41%. The cities with the worst increases in this pollutant between 2010 and 2019 are predominantly in India.

For decades, scientists have closely observed the ozone layer , which protects Earth from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Ozone is created in our atmosphere when the sun’s high-energy UV rays rupture the stable covalent bonds of atmospheric oxygen (O2) molecules, transforming them into free radicals.

The analysis, published on 1 June in Science Advances , uses satellite images to reveal for the first time how nitrogen oxides – gases found in car exhaust and industrial emissions – affect crop productivity. Overall, the effects seemed most negative in seasons and locations where NOx likely drives ozone formation.

The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recognizes this, which is why for the 2019 American Fitness Index rankings, the ACSM added air quality as an environmental indicator of a city’s health. But man-made elements — including vehicular use plus industrial emissions — especially affect air quality. with the worst air quality.

It’s packed with energy; per unit of weight, at least 60 times as much as the lithium-ion batteries used to propel electric cars. In the presence of the sun’s rays, nitrogen molecules set of a chain of reactions that produce ozone and destroy free-floating atmospheric methane. It’s also terrible for the climate.
