The Effects of Heat Waves on Air Pollution
35:04 - 39:13 (04:09)
During heat waves, power plants are forced to emit more emissions due to increased demand for air conditioning, while the heat and stagnant conditions worsen air pollution levels.
Clips
Power plants emit more emissions during heat waves due to increased demand from AC usage, while the weather conditions also worsen air pollution by trapping the emissions under a cap of stagnant air.
