If a low-altitude high-latitude stratospheric aerosol injection were used for climate intervention, it would subject aircraft passengers to the resulting sulfate aerosol cloud. We show here, based on simulations from three Earth system models, that the resulting sulfur dioxide concentration inside the cabin would be at least an order of magnitude smaller than safe air quality standards.
