Health-relevant, compound ozone and temperature burden in Europe: statistical modeling and climate change projections
- Air pollution represents the major environmental health threat in Europe, with exposure to surface, ground-level ozone posing a major risk to the European population. Until the end of the 21st century, the health burden induced by ground-level ozone is expected to worsen due to ongoing climate change. Compound occurrences of health-relevant surface ozone and air temperature levels are of particular interest to environmental health science and projection studies, as there is evidence of an even intensified resulting health risk when both health stressors occur at the same time. The overall aim of the dissertation is to improve our current understanding and knowledge regarding recent and future health-relevant occurrences of ground-level ozone alone or alongside elevated levels of surface air temperature in Europe.
