Nature: When planning carbon emissions standards for power plants in order to
curb global climate change, health-affecting air quality factors should
also be taken into account, US experts have argued. The researchers have
proposed three different power plant scenarios, which combine
strategies to control both carbon emissions and factors that affect air
quality, such as fine particulate matter and ozone concentrations. The
findings show it is possible to set carbon standards for power plants
while also providing immediate health benefits to those who reside
nearby.
