Global warming may cause smoggier autumns in Southeast US
A study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences links warmer, drier Octobers to extended fall smog in the Southeastern United States. Researchers at Georgia Tech say trees emit isoprene to shield leaves, a reaction that with sunlight can increase ozone. The 2010 October smog spike is used as a key example, suggesting climate change could worsen autumn air quality.
