This can help us better understand the relationship between aerosol pollution and human health.The Rockets Star Says he was Defending Himself when he Hurled a Man Through the Window of an Orlando Bar Eventually, scientists will be able to compare this information with health records. MAIA will help scientists understand the size, makeup and quantity of aerosols in our air. NASA also is developing a new instrument called the Multi-Angle Imager for Aerosols, or MAIA, to fly aboard a future spacecraft mission. In fact, air quality forecasters use information about aerosols from NASA’s Aqua, Terra and Suomi-NPP satellites. NASA uses satellites orbiting Earth to keep an eye on air pollution. That’s why it’s important for us to monitor air pollution. Long-term exposure to air pollution has been associated with diseases of the heart and lungs, cancers and other health problems. How does air pollution affect our health?īreathing in polluted air can be very bad for our health. Dark-colored particles that absorb the Sun’s light can make the global temperature warmer. In the same way, light-colored particles that reflect the Sun’s light and heat away from Earth can make the global temperature cooler. Lighter-colored surfaces reflect heat from the Sun.Ī white t-shirt reflects the Sun on a hot day, making you feel cooler.
