The Future of Urban Air
By 2050, 70 percent of people will live in cities, making urban design, urban emissions, and policy governing redevelopment of old and creation of new cities the only path to managing our impact on the chemistry of air. Chemistry of air affects climate, health, weather, and visibility. Learn about the role of chemists and chemistry as they affect our air, the incredible success we've had in reducing air pollution, and the opportunities for chemists to lead us to cleaner, cooler, and healthier air in the future.
