About 99.82% of the global land area is exposed to levels of particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) — tiny particles in the air that are linked to lung cancer and heart disease — above the safety limit recommended by the Word Health Organization, according to the study published in Lancet Planetary Health.
And only 0.001% of the world’s population breathes in air that is considered acceptable.
Everything in the air ends up on the land and in our drinking water. Particles that land on the sea float on the surface and attract toxic lipophilic chemicals in the surface SML layer. The SML layer forms aerosols which nucleate clouds to form rainwater. Rainwater all over the world now contains the particles with added chemicals absorbed from water pollution of the oceans. This is probably responsible for up to 80% of climate change, but it is almost totally ignored and is not being addressed.
There is no way we can stop catastrophic climate change by carbon mitigation alone.
