What are the emerging concerns in air and water quality?
Climate change and industrialization are contributing to emerging concerns in air and water quality. In air quality, rising temperatures can exacerbate the formation of ground-level ozone and increase the frequency of wildfires, releasing large amounts of airborne particulates. In water quality, the proliferation of microplastics and pharmaceuticals in water bodies poses new challenges, as their long-term effects on human health and ecosystems are not yet fully understood.
