That’s a very good question, Sarah.
I work in the areas of climate and rivers, and we have discovered that reducing the amount of fine particulates (like smoke) in the atmosphere is actually increasing the rate of global warming, because they filter the sunlight and keep the earth cool.
However, overall it has been a good thing as these particulates can lead to health problems like lung cancer.
So, yes, in this case reducing pollution actually has negative effects!
