How air pollution shapes the methane budget

Methane is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases, significantly contributing to global warming. It also affects the formation of other climate-relevant substances like ozone and water vapor—particularly in the stratosphere. However, methane's atmospheric lifetime depends not only on how much is emitted, but also on how efficiently it is removed.
