Crops, which tend to be situated in areas
with high ozone levels, would be particularly stunted because they are fertilized.
Not exact matches
And while
ozone high in the atmosphere helps shield Earth from the sun's ultraviolet radiation, at ground
level, it mixes
with fine particulates to form breath - choking smog.
But it can promote the formation of ground -
level ozone, which irritates the lungs and at
high levels makes it dangerous for people
with respiratory problems to be outside.
«
Higher ozone, lower humidity
levels associated
with dry eye disease.»
The
ozone season is selected because it is the part of the year
with highest temperatures and strongest solar radiation and thus the time when photochemical reactions of
ozone precursor gases are most likely to produce
high ozone levels (Rice, 2014).
IPCC [26] projects the following trends, if global warming continue to increase, where only trends assigned very
high confidence or
high confidence are included: (i) increased malnutrition and consequent disorders, including those related to child growth and development, (ii) increased death, disease and injuries from heat waves, floods, storms, fires and droughts, (iii) increased cardio - respiratory morbidity and mortality associated
with ground -
level ozone.
North of Los Angeles, the area also has the second -
highest level of
ozone pollution in the U.S. Mountains surround the valley on three sides, creating inversion layers that trap pollution,
with little wind to carry it away.
• increases in malnutrition and consequent disorders,
with implications for child growth and development; • increased deaths, disease and injury due to heat waves, floods, storms, fires and droughts; • the increased burden of diarrheal disease; • the increased frequency of cardio - respiratory diseases due to
higher concentrations of ground -
level ozone related to climate change; and, • the altered spatial distribution of some infectious disease vectors.
Another example would be
ozone levels which become more unhealthy
with high temperatures or the heat index.
Because
ozone rapidly decreases
with height (very little
ozone above 35 km),
ozone loss is estimated to have caused only half of the cooling at the
higher levels of the stratosphere.
The electron belt is on top of the proton belt, the so called van Allen belts, then there is the upper ionosphere which tends negative and the lower ionosphere that tends positive, and this coupling impact, and space particles attracted to opposing sings and a dance of
high energy particles that come
with O2 splitting and
ozone level increases, namely toward the tropics, while the closing isobars bring particles to the poles... all mean that flaring has a HUGE electrical meaning.
Similar negative effects occur
with worsening air pollution —
higher levels of ground -
level ozone smog and other pollutants that increase
with warmer temperatures have been directly linked
with increased rates of respiratory and cardiovascular disease — food production and safety — warmer temperatures and varying rainfall patterns mess up staple crop yields and aid the migration and breeding of pests that can devastate crops — flooding — as rising sea
levels make coastal areas and densely - populated river deltas more susceptible to storm surges and flooding that result from severe weather — and wildfires, which can be ancillary to increased heat waves and are also responsible for poor air quality (not to mention burning people's homes and crops).

With our hot, dry summers, we tend to see
higher ozone levels because
ozone is formed
with a combination of air pollution and sunli
with a combination of air pollution and sunlight.
As if sweltering heat weren't bad enough, Europeans also suffered through a
higher - than - normal number of days
with dangerous smog
levels that year.6 Smog —
with ground -
level ozone as the main component — forms when sunlight reacts
with chemicals such as volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and water vapor.
During extreme heat events, nighttime temperatures in the region's big cities are generally several degrees higher28 than surrounding regions, leading to increased heat - related death among those less able to recover from the heat of the day.36 Since the hottest days in the Northeast are often associated
with high concentrations of ground -
level ozone and other pollutants, 37 the combination of heat stress and poor air quality can pose a major health risk to vulnerable groups: young children, the elderly, and those
with pre-existing health conditions including asthma.29 Vulnerability is further increased as key infrastructure, including electricity for potentially life - saving air conditioning, is more likely to fail precisely when it is most needed — when demand exceeds available supply.
IPCC [26] projects the following trends, if global warming continue to increase, where only trends assigned very
high confidence or
high confidence are included: (i) increased malnutrition and consequent disorders, including those related to child growth and development, (ii) increased death, disease and injuries from heat waves, floods, storms, fires and droughts, (iii) increased cardio - respiratory morbidity and mortality associated

In several cities
with relatively low ground
level ozone, the increase in premature death was greater than the premature mortality of cities
with high levels of ground
level ozone.
Numerous studies showed a link /
high correlation
with increases in ground
level ozone an premature death.
Hickman's team finds that an extreme invasion of kudzu could actually increase the number of days
with dangerously
high levels of
ozone.
Exposure to
high levels of
ozone (O3) and airborne particulate matter (PM10) during the second and third trimester were found to contribute to babies a
with low birth rate.
That is the sum Cal State Fullerton's Jane Hall believes pollution is costing the Golden State on an annual basis, according to the LAT's Louis Sahagun: the result of over 3,800 premature deaths and illnesses associated
with high levels of particulates and
ozone.
Burning fossil fuels not only pollutes our air directly
with irritants like particulate matter and soot, but as greenhouse gases accumulate in the atmosphere and average temperatures rise, they also contribute to
higher levels of ground -
level ozone that can cause acute and long - term respiratory problems.
