Due to climate change and the increasing concentration of human beings, human health is becoming increasing impacted by environmental changes such as extreme heat and cold snaps, flooding, wildfires, the northward migration of tropical insect-borne diseases, the urban heat island effect, the increasing occurrence of harmful algal blooms, and environmental degradation due to release and/or burial of anthropogenically-generated pollutants originating from waste, manufacturing, and mining. Many of the above phenomena, whether related to climate change or the impact of people on the natural environment, especially those related to atmospheric transport and other air-borne physical and chemical processes, have imposed significant and serious impacts on human health. These impacts are being felt not only in the US, but worldwide. To inform the public of these risks and explore the feasibility of possible solutions, the American Meteorological Society (AMS), a professional society of 13,000 atmospheric scientists; companies; and enthusiasts, will carry out an information gathering activity to collect input from its constituents on issues in climate and atmospheric processes that have impacts on human health and that are primed to be quickly addressed/resolved. A report, summarizing the outcome of this survey, will be generated and made available to the public via publication on the American Meteorological Society website and presented to the National Science Foundation Directorate of Geosciences. Key outcomes will be the identification of atmospheric changes and processes with the highest human-health impacts resulting from pollution and climate change that are primed for immediate resolution and/or intervention. Broader Impacts of the activity will a focus on improving our understanding and mitigation of atmospherically related environmental changes on human health. The American Meteorological Society (AMS) will conduct a broad, inclusive, results-driven survey of its constituents which consist of scientists and students as well as industry professionals in the atmospheric sciences and weather/climate prediction. This information collection exercise will gather ideas and target areas where geoscientists, communities, toxicologists, and medical professionals can come together to accelerate our nation's ability to mitigate and minimize human health impacts of changes in our environment due to climate and anthropogenic activities. Results of the survey will be summarized to provide a roadmap for the creation of potential workable solutions to help ameliorate the impacts of the environment on human health and society. In the final report targets will be identified that can be addressed in a significant way within a 2 to 3-year timeframe. Information gathering will include online survey vehicles, virtual gatherings, one-on-one discussions with experts, and broad outreach across the atmospheric sciences. An important aspect of the survey effort will be engagement of early career scientists and members of groups historically underrepresented in the sciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

由于气候的变化和人类的浓度增加，人类健康正受到环境变化的影响，例如极端热量和冷阵，洪水，野火，野外野火，热带昆虫传播疾病的北部迁移，城市热岛的效应，危害藻类浮光和环境因释放和/或在释放中的变化而增加的临时，以及在释放中的出现，并构造了一个爆发的构造，制造和采矿。上述许多现象，无论是与气候变化有关还是人们对自然环境的影响，尤其是与大气运输和其他空气传播的物理和化学过程有关的现象，对人类健康产生了重大而严重的影响。这些影响不仅在美国，而且在全球都受到感受。为了告知公众这些风险并探索可能解决方案的可行性，美国气象学会（AMS）是一个由13,000名大气科学家组成的专业社会；公司；和爱好者将进行一项信息收集活动，以从其成分中收集有关气候和大气过程中对人类健康有影响的问题的意见，这些过程对人类健康产生了影响，并且可以快速解决/解决。总结本调查结果的报告将通过美国气象学会网站上的出版物生成并提供给公众，并介绍给国家科学基金会地球科学局。关键结果将是确定大气变化和过程，其污染和气候变化产生的最高人为影响的过程将启动，这是为了立即解决和/或干预。该活动的更广泛的影响将集中在提高我们对大气与人类健康的环境变化的理解和缓解。 美国气象学会（AMS）将对其组成部分进行广泛，包容，结果驱动的调查，其中包括科学家和学生以及大气科学和天气/气候预测的行业专业人员。此信息收集活动将收集思想和针对地球科学家，社区，毒理学家和医疗专业人员的能力，以加快国家减轻和最大程度地减少由于气候和人为活动而对环境变化的影响的能力。该调查的结果将进行总结，以提供建立潜在可行解决方案的路线图，以帮助改善环境对人类健康和社会的影响。将在最终报告中确定可以在2到3年的时间内以重大方式解决的目标。信息收集将包括在线调查工具，虚拟聚会，与专家的一对一讨论以及在整个大气科学中进行广泛的宣传。调查工作的一个重要方面将是早期职业科学家和科学历史上代表性不足的团体成员的参与。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估评估标准的评估值得支持的。
