“Although the climate and public health impacts of sulfate geoengineering have been discussed (NAS, 1992; Pitari et al., 2014; Effiong and Neitzel, 2016), to date there has not been a quantitative evaluation of how global mortality rates might be affected by changes in air quality or UV-B exposure resulting from such a strategy.
Air quality, specifically surface-level concentrations of ozone andfine particulate matter (PM2.5), has been linked quantitatively to changes in mortality rates through exposure response functions based on epidemiological studies (Hoek et al., 2013; Jerrett et al., 2009).”
