Abstract: Biofuels are often promoted as a way of mitigating climate change, but their impacts on climate and air quality remain uncertain. Estimates of air-pollutant emissions from the production and use of sugar-cane ethanol in Brazil indicate that this biofuel may have larger impacts on regional climate and human health than previously thought.
