The team used a combination of climate, air quality, and epidemiological models to assess future air pollution deaths in a changing climate under Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5 (RCP and ozone exposure, respectively. and ozone in 2050 by factors of 1 and 3, respectively.

Furthermore, this would also deliver a net annual reduction of at least 200 MtCO 2 e from short-lived climate pollutants in 2030 (using GWP-100 values). Next-generation standards would target new reductions in emissions of NO x and non-methane hydrocarbons (HC), which are precursors to ozone and secondary particulate matter.
