World Resources Institute, Climate and Pollution Impacts on Health

Date:16 October 2001
Description:WRI brings together scientists and policy makers to estimate health and economic costs associated with fossil fuel use. We also work with these countries to develop innovative policy solutions to address these issues. Industrialization has brought on serious health problems, particularly in urban areas. Additionally, air pollution produces gases that exacerbate the greenhouse effect, contributing to global warming and climate change.
