Climate Connections: Climate change is impacting the air you breathe. But scientists say, the future solution already exists in Singapore!
Climate change is caused by the rise in anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Such gases include carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, which are long-lived compounds that can remain in the atmosphere for several years.
But you might be wondering if climate change in turn impacts the quality of the air we breathe.
On this episode of Climate Connections, NTU Professor Stephan Schuster, Research Director of the Meta-o’mics & Microbiomes cluster at the Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering reviews the connection between air pollution and climate change, as well as the tell-tale signs that scientists look out for when measuring air quality.
Professor Schuster also reveals some potential solutions that actually already exist in Singapore!
