While the existence of higher CO 2 levels overs cities—CO 2 domes—has been known for more than a decade, their effects on local air pollution has up to now not been explored. As such, reducing locally emitted CO 2 may reduce local air pollution mortality even if CO 2 in adjacent regions is not controlled. Jacobson, 2010. Mark Jacobson.

SOAs are tiny particles that are formed in air and make up typically 40% to 60% of the aerosol mass in urban environments. The use of petroleum-derived fuels is an important source of reactive gas-phase organic carbon that provides key precursors to the formation of secondary OA (SOA) and tropospheric ozone. —Gentner et al.
