Yuhang WangClimate change in the polar regions may have worsened winter haze problems in China, according to a study....The study published in the U.S. journal Science Advances suggests that melting Arctic sea ice and increasing Eurasian snow, both caused by global climate change, have shifted China's winter monsoon, helping create stagnant atmospheric conditions that trap pollution over the country's major population and industrial centers. "Emissions in China have been decreasing over the last four years, but the severe winter haze is not getting better," said Yuhang Wang, a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, who led the study. Yuhang Wang is a professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.
