‘I want people to remember that combining satellite remote sensing technology and public health research can generate great benefits to the entire society, I would say.’ – Yang Liu
Yang Liu of the Harvard School of Public Health has been involved with studies that have linked air pollution from tiny particles called aerosols to human diseases, including heart problems and asthma. EarthSky’s Lindsay Patterson spoke with Dr. Liu about how satellites in space can provide scientists and medical researchers with information they need on air pollution and human health.

I am starting my own blog to share my photography experiences. Do you find it hard or easy to post consistently?
Thanks for this information. It is really frightening what is in the air we breath. Especially China and the United States are just such huge countries, with so many people, if all the people make a small change, it will have a huge impact on a global scale.
I hope that they will continue to inform their citizens and save even more energy. I have positive expectations after I read this post before: http://hannahchan.com/blog/2010/10/26/global-warming-as-an-economic-issue-in-china/
It seems that both Chinese and American leaders are thinking about the long term. I hope this cooperation is successful.
