The failure to measure and predict the impacts of highly-developed industry has triggered three major crises globally: resource scarcity, environmental pollution, ecosystem damage. Human polluted emissions into environment remain unrelenting. Due to the spread of the atmosphere, water, soil, and ...
Eventually, the skies started to clear and the air quality alerts ended. But for those who need to know the air quality due to respiratory or other health conditions, looking at the sky may not be sufficient. Instead, there are quick and easy ways to measure the air quality with tech you...
China’s “Three-year Action Plan to Win the Blue Sky Defence War” (Wang et al. 2019) has prompted regional government departments to enhance their regulation of local air pollution sources, resulting in positive social outcomes. However, this effort has also led to some degree of economic ...
Inexpensive air quality monitors may open up pollution monitoring to the wider public. What can the physics of measurement science tell us about how devices need to perform, and how can standardization help?doi:10.1038/s42254-023-00561-8Richard J. C. Brown...
From pollution levels and the number of traffic accidents to safer public spaces and more efficient heating in buildings—to what extent can the smartness of a city be quantified? And is it possible to measure the quality of life for an urban area through numerical parameters?
representing nearly 90% of the U.S. population. The team combined data from the NOAA Hazard Mapping System Fire and Smoke Product with surface PM2.5 readings to explore how these smoky days affect overall pollution levels. PM2.5 is a type of particulate matter pollution smaller than huma...
