[Climate Progress] Energy and Global Warming News for July 24: Ah, the olive groves ...: “The National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone was recently revised to set lower limits for ozone concentrations. Our research indicates that the threshold for decrements in ozone-induced lung function in healthy young subjects is below this standard,”

[Prof. Mukono Blog] Prof. Mukono Blog » Blog Archive » AIR POLLUTION AND IT'S GLOBAL ...: The most part of ozone at atmosphere located at stratosphere (90%) and small part at different troposphere, although both of them using photochemical process. Increasing of nitrocarbon emission and nitrogenoxide will influence the ozone content at stratosphere, while ozone content at troposphere influence to human health biotic environment and also has function as green house gas (GHG).

[Ear To The Ground] Global warming may increase the frequency and severity of ozone ...: A recent study by EPA suggests that the warming effects of climate change could increase 8-hour ozone concentrations between 2 ppb and 8 ppb.  Obviously, the changes would be most substantial during peak events, rather than for an overall seasonal average;

[Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming RSS Newsfeed] Ozone exposure ups risk of death from lung disease: To investigate, the study team looked at American Cancer Society data on deaths from 1982 to 2000 and data on ozone pollution for 1977 through 2000, as well as measurements of particulate matter pollution for 1999 and 2000. Their analysis included 96 US metropolitan areas and 448,850 people.

[Breaking News] Some plants can increase ozone production by 50 times: WASHINGTON - A team of NASA-funded researchers have found that future concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) and ozone in the atmosphere and of nitrogen in the soil are likely to have an important but overlooked effect on the cycling of water from sky to land to waterways. With the help of a modeling experiment, the researchers concluded that models of climate change may be underestimating how much water is likely to run off the land and back into the sea as atmospheric chemistry changes.

[Global Warming] Latest on Global CO2 and the Ozone Hole - AccuWeather.com: Global ...: And if you even try and give me a line about the Feedbacks amplifying the heating then I'll know for sure 1) you didn't read the link and 2) you don't have the slightest idea what I'm talking about .If you can not grasp that potential temperature changes , due to GHG's like CO2 , have less to do with their concentration levels than they have to do with the Sensitivity of the Climate to limiting the amount of heating that can occur regardless of those concentration levels , then Don't waste your time , because I'm not going to waste mine trying to discuss this on a meaningful level with people who think I'm a Simpleton.

[The Global Warming Statistics] Global Warming Is A Medical Emergency; Hellish Heatwaves To Harm ...: Warm, sunny conditions accelerate the formation of ground-level ozone, a major component of smog. Even if air pollution is improved, as required by the Clean Air Act, global warming could mean an extra 10 parts per billion (ppb) of ozone during heat waves in the Midwest and Northeast, forcing some cities to take even more aggressive steps to meet the 75 ppb ozone standard.

[Wonk Room] Wonk Room » Global Boiling: 'Global Warming Is A Medical Emergency': Warm, sunny conditions accelerate the formation of ground-level ozone, a major component of smog.

[The AirZone Blog] Long-Term Ozone Exposure Linked to Higher Risk of Death, Finds ...: "This is the first time we've been able to connect chronic exposure to ozone, one of the most widespread pollutants in the world, with the risk of death, arguably the most important outcome in health impact studies used to justify air quality regulations," said study lead author Michael Jerrett, UC Berkeley associate professor of environmental health sciences. "Previous research has connected short-term or acute ozone exposure to impaired lung function, aggravated asthma symptoms, increased emergency room visits and hospitalizations, but the impact of long-term exposure to ozone on mortality had not been pinned down until now."

[Watts Up With That?] Gavin Schmidt on solar trends and global warming « Watts Up With That?: In fact, looking at that NASA diagram again…and also at an absorption spectrum for CO2, I am beginning to think that your argument involving CO2 absorbing any significant amount of sunlight is worse than I thought. I think most of the sunlight absorbed by the atmosphere is in wavelengths where CO2 does not significantly absorb…So, in fact, to a very good approximation, CO2 is transparent to sunlight and the absorption of ~23% of sunlight by the atmosphere that does occur (according to Trenberth’s diagram) is almost entirely due to absorption in the UV, visible, and near-IR parts of the spectrum by components other than CO2.

[Rainforests and Rainforest Animals, Additions and Updates Straight to Your Computer] Global Warming Facts: The increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere force the oceans to absorb more and more of this greenhouse gas. This process has led to ocean acidification which has been blamed for damaging coral reefs and other shell-forming organisms.
