Climate change is driving more intense and more frequent heatwaves, which in turn generate a "witch's brew" of pollutants, threatening the health of humans and all living things, the UN warned. The wildfire smoke that recently suffocated cities from Athens to New York may be the most visible sign of air pollution caused by heatwaves. But extreme heat can also induce a host of other chemical processes that are hazardous for human health, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said in its annual Air Quality and Climate Bulletin. For more on the deadly effects air pollution is having on all age groups from all socio-economic backgrounds worldwide, France 24's Rochelle FERGUSON BOUYAHI is joined by Dr. Chloe Brimicombe, Climate Scientist and Extreme Heat Researcher at the Wegener Center for Climate and Global Change, University of Graz.
