- If we magically transformed the global economy overnight, and air pollution fell to near zero, we’d get:
- an immediate rise in global temperatures of between 0.5 and 1.1 degrees Celsius, according to the new study.
- (For reference: The climate has warmed about 1.2 degrees Celsius since the start of the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century.)
- The warming would be concentrated over the major cities of the northern hemisphere,
- close to where most aerosols are emitted.
- In the hardest hit parts of highly-urbanized East Asia, for example,
- the complete removal of aerosols would likely have a bigger effect than all other sources of climate change combined.
- Temperatures in the Arctic could jump as much as 4 degrees Celsius – a catastrophe that would shove the region further toward a permanently ice-free state.
- an immediate rise in global temperatures of between 0.5 and 1.1 degrees Celsius, according to the new study.

wastewater treatment disease transmission studies from that time did not usually consider respiratory pathogens.
During the 1980s, there were few pathogens that were both known to initiate infection in the lungs and frequently occur in wastewater (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1980). It was viewed as an anomaly if an enteric pathogen was “uniquely infectious by the aerosol route”, with the noted exception of the respiratory bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis
