Question

you are researching how climate change affects urban air quality. you find three sources with these points: source 1: climate change leads to increased temperatures, which can worsen air pollution in cities. source 2: higher temperatures from climate change can increase ground - level ozone. this negatively impacts respiratory health in urban populations. source 3: changes in weather patterns due to climate change can trap pollutants in urban areas for longer periods. which statement best synthesizes the information from these sources? climate change leads to higher temperatures and air pollution, which has some effects on urban health and quality of life. climate change results in higher temperatures, leading to broader declines in environmental and urban health quality. climate change leads to higher temperatures and air pollution, which has some effects on urban health and quality of life. climate change primarily affects urban respiratory health due to rising temperatures and

Explanation:

The sources discuss how climate - change - induced higher temperatures worsen air pollution, increase ground - level ozone (affecting respiratory health), and trap pollutants. The best synthesis should cover these aspects about environmental and urban health impacts. The second option mentions higher temperatures leading to broader declines in environmental and urban health quality, which best combines all the key points from the sources.

Answer:

Climate change results in higher temperatures, leading to broader declines in environmental and urban health quality.
