New WHO has issued new Global Air Quality Guidelines (AQGs) that reduce levels of key air pollutants, some of which also contribute to climate change. Since WHO’s last 2005 global update, there has been a marked increase of evidence that shows how air pollution affects different aspects of health. Source: WHO.

New data from the World Health Organization (WHO) shows that 9 out of 10 people breathe air containing high levels of pollutants. Updated estimations reveal a death toll of 7 million people every year caused by ambient (outdoor) and household air pollution. Ambient air pollution alone caused some 4.2 g/m 3 (for PM 10 ) and 10 ?g/m

At a time when pollution regulations are increasingly focused on the emissions ships generate, the SCiB will contribute to the protection of the marine and global environments. The certification is based on Class NK’s “Guidelines for Large-capacity Storage Batteries,” which requires use of a BMU in the system as a safety feature.

The findings appear in the journal Science of the Total Environment. Setback distances should be revisited to address temporal variability and pollution controls in vent emissions. By comparison, the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) used an estimate of 0.11 —Hilpert et al. pounds and 1.7
