RT Journal Article ID 47ec62930eefd1c1 A1 Vallero, Daniel A. T1 Ethics and Air Pollution in the 21st Century: Biomedical and Environmental Perspectives JF Ethics in Biology, Engineering and Medicine: An International Journal JO EBEM YR 2013 FD 2014-07-16 VO 4 IS 3 SP 241 OP 252 K1 air pollution; global greenhouse gas (GHG); genetically modified organism (GMO); gene flow; risk assessment; life cycle; downstream impacts AB Biomedical and environmental science and practice are called upon to address the societal problems caused by air pollution. This includes ethical treatment of those adversely affected by exposures to the pollutants, means of preventing the pollution, research to advance the understanding of the process that leads to adverse impacts, and discovery of new ways to intervene against threats currently posed by myriad air pollutants. This article provides a shared environmental and biomedical ethical perspective that can be scaled to address the issues at hand. Two cases are considered: global greenhouse gases and biotechnology materials. PB Begell House LK https://www.dl.begellhouse.com/journals/6ed509641f7324e6,50de6dfe406dbd9f,47ec62930eefd1c1.html
