Abstract

Intercontinental transport of air pollutants such as ozone, particulate matter, mercury, and persistent organic pollutants contribute significantly to environmental degradation and public health problems in many parts of the world. Their negative impacts have led to the implementation of air pollution control policies, which have helped mitigate some of these negative outcomes. However, there is still more to be done. Further international cooperation and stringent implementation of science-based mitigation measures are necessary to effectively address the challenges resulting from intercontinental transport of air pollution. This includes improving observations, emissions inventories, modeling capabilities, and our understanding of the impacts of air pollution. With continued collaboration and comprehensive actions, we can work towards reducing the harmful effects of this global issue. – AI-generated abstract.
