Study: air pollution causes 800,000 extra deaths a year in Europe and 8.8 million worldwide

Green Car Congress

Air pollution could be causing double the number of excess deaths a year in Europe than has been estimated previously, according to a study published in the European Heart Journal. Air pollution caused twice as many deaths from CVD as from respiratory diseases. The researchers found that air pollution caused an estimated 8.8

ICL, CMU study associates PM2.5 air pollution in US with >30,000 deaths and reduced life expectancy

Green Car Congress

Air quality in the US may be linked with increased mortality and reduced life expectancy according to new research from Imperial College London and the Center for Air, Climate and Energy Solutions at Carnegie Mellon University. The amount of this fine particle pollution in the US has declined since 1999. The current US annual PM 2.5

Murine study finds even low level exposure to PM10 pollution is harmful to lungs

Green Car Congress

Air pollution is a ubiquitous problem and comprises gaseous and particulate matter (PM). However, the majority of such models represent high levels of exposure and are not representative of the exposure levels in less polluted countries, such as Australia. To understand the mechanisms involved, animal models are often used.

is the leading global environmental risk factor for mortality and disease burden, with associated annual global welfare costs of trillions of dollars, However, no one knows what city has the highest level of the pollution. Such sparse monitoring fails to represent pollution variability. Exposure to ambient PM 2.5 million people.

UB study finds link between ambient ozone exposure, artery wall thickness

Green Car Congress

We used statistical models to capture whether there are significant associations between ozone exposure and these outcomes. While the study finds an association between air pollution and atherosclerosis, researchers aren’t clear on why. —Meng Wang. Ozone, however, is much trickier, Wang notes. —Meng Wang.

the pollutant emissions discharged at the tailpipe outlet will be so low as to be hardly measurable, and their practical impact on air quality will be negligible. Further development of exhaust gas energy recovery systems with turbo-compounding and possibly chemical reforming should be encouraged. Engine thermal and energy management.
