Is ozone, rather than PM2.5, actually the largest contributor to premature deaths associated with trans-continental transport of air pollution?Daven K Henze
In order to reduce our carbon emissions, we have to identify and reduce local emissions. Sometimes this is easy, e.g. when it’s a large, centralized contributor like a power plant. However, there are also significant contributions that are much more difficult to detect and control. To dete...
2, a toxic air pollutant. SO2 forms sulfate aerosols, the principal component of the historic “London Smog” and a major contributor to the two countries’ current haze problem2,3 that causes over one million premature deaths each year
Air pollution causes 1 in 9 deaths, and huge parts of the world still lack access to basic air quality data. IQAir is working to change this by empowering the world to breathe cleaner air. IQAir engages citizen scientists, organizations, and governments to contribute data and fight environment...
and releasing thousands of tons of illegal air pollution as a result, is irresponsible and endangers air quality, public health and the global climate. These penalties, along with requirements to reduce pollution, should send a warning signal to other oil companies that don’t follow...

"We're a beneficiary of vast advancement of infrastructure in both science and technology," Li said. "We are also a contributor. We hope to continue to contribute by making FAST not only a successful construction project, but also something that can be a global landmark in radio astronomy....
over time is noted, attributed to landscape changes. This preliminary effort emphasizes the need to enhance and automate the methodology, integrate it into the Swiss Data Cube, and potentially extend analyses with climate data to better study UHI effects. Future work will include developing ...
