Air Pollution and Meteorology Extremes: Interactions, Trends, and Public Health Dimensions
Session ID#: 248086
Session Description:
Extreme events in air quality (e.g., ozone, PM, and other species) and meteorology (e.g., heatwaves, drought, atmospheric stagnation, tropical cyclones) pose challenges to public health. Air pollutant extremes can interact with one another, and can also be modulated by meteorological extremes through interconnected changes in emissions, atmospheric dynamics, and chemical processes.This session welcomes contributions on (1) trends, drivers, or impacts of individual meteorological or air pollution extremes, (2) physical or chemical linkages, interactions, and co-occurrences between multiple extremes, and (3) health outcomes associated with single or compound extreme events. We encourage studies using laboratory experiments, in‑situ measurements, satellite remote sensing, chemical transport or earth system models, and AI/ML frameworks at any spatial scale – from urban to global.
