Eastham, Sebastian D.; Weisenstein, Debra K.; Keith, David W.; Barrett, Steven R.H. (2018): Quantifying the impact of sulfate geoengineering on mortality from air quality and UV-B exposure. In Atmospheric Environment. DOI: 10.1016/j.atmosenv.2018.05.047.
„Using a chemistry-transport model, we quantify the steady-state response of three public health risks to 1[nbsp]°C global mean surface cooling. We separate impacts into those which are “radiative forcing-driven”, associated with climate change “reversal” through modification of global radiative forcing, and those “direct impacts” associated uniquely with using sulfate geoengineering to achieve this. We find that the direct (non-radiative forcing driven) impact is a decrease in global mortality of ∼13,000 annually.“
