6PPD-quinone derived from tire debris is toxic to two trout species, not just coho salmon

Green Car Congress

MARCH 4, 2022

Now, researchers in Canada report that exposure to 6PPD-quinone at environmentally relevant levels can also be deadly for rainbow and brook trout, though not for Arctic char or white sturgeon. 6PPD is used industry-wide to help tires resist degradation and cracking.

HEI study in Europe finds evidence of health effects at lower levels of air pollution

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 25, 2021

In the report, the investigators describe the development of new exposure models for all of Europe for four pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ), black carbon (BC), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), and ozone (O 3 ), as well as PM 2.5 particle composition. Initial results were published in 2019 and Phase 2 results are under review.

HFCs are potent greenhouse gases used in refrigerators, air conditioners, and industrial applications. While they do not deplete the ozone layer, many are highly potent greenhouse gases. The Montreal Protocol was established in 1987 to facilitate a global approach to combat depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer.

HEI launches two new non-tailpipe particulate emission studies

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 8, 2023

This study will measure concentrations of non-tailpipe (NTP) particulate matter across Toronto, Canada to determine how much non-tailpipe pollution people might breathe in everyday life and how to better measure these exposures in the future. HEI receives balanced funding from government and industry.

MARPOL Annex VI sets limits on NO x and SO x emissions from ship exhaust, and prohibits deliberate emissions of ozone-depleting substances. This limit is scheduled to reduce to 0.5% (5,000 ppm) in 2020, although members of the shipping industry are currently calling for IMO to delay the requirement until at least 2025. Earlier post.).
