August 29, 2017 - SâO Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil - SAO PAULO SP, SP 24/08/2017 CLIMATE CHANGES: São Paulo presents hot and polluted afternoon on Tuesday (29).Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the United States estimate that climate change, if not contained, is expected to cause about 60,000 deaths by 2030 and 260,000 by 2100 due to atmospheric pollution. ''As climate change affects pollutant concentrations in the air, this can have a significant impact on global health by increasing the number of people dying from pollution each year,'' said Jason West, who led the study. Researchers at the University of North Carolina, along with researchers at the University of North Carolina, and researchers at the University of North Carolina at the University of California, Berkeley, are also investigating the effects of high temperatures on chemical reactions that create air pollutants such as ozone and affect public health.
