An understanding of the relations between different atmospheric pollutants provides the basis for designing integrated policy packages to address both air pollution and climate problems effectively. Gases that simultaneously cause air pollution and climate change prove as common as those that alleviate one of these environmental challenges while aggravating the other. At least five gases cause adverse health effects of air pollution and simultaneously warm the planet. Similar numbers of gases and chemicals prove harmful air pollutants, but mitigate climate change by cooling the earth, or remain neutral to climate. Rapid reduction of air pollutants remains essential to saving 7 million lives lost to air pollution globally every year, however, and if air quality programs reduce emissions of climate coolants, a more ambitious climate action remains necessary.
