to the environment some contrails can contribute to global warming contrails pure ice clouds cirrus that form from aircraft exhaust under specific cold conditions can trap heat in the atmosphere sometimes creating as much warming as the carbon dioxide released by burning jet fuel read article can vitamin a help prevent measles vitamin a does not prevent measles the most effective way to prevent measles is through vaccination vitamin a supplements are a tool in reducing complications from measles but they will not prevent infection vitamin a when used under the guidance of a health
