An international team of scientists, led by NTU Singapore, has linked increased air pollution to an uptick in cases of lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) worldwide. g/m 3 ) increment of black carbon is associated with a 12% increase in LADC incidence globally. Black carbon is a pollutant that is classified as under PM 2.5.

The companies are joining efforts to implement the carbon-negative UBQ thermoplastic ( earlier post ) into auto parts manufactured by Motherson Group for the automotive industry. Adding as little as 10% UBQ GHG to a part can immediately transform it into a carbon-neutral product. Polymers typically emit 1.9

An international collaboration of scientists has taken a significant step toward the realization of a nearly “green” zero-net-carbon technology that can efficiently convert CO 2 and hydrogen into ethanol. They also discovered why this three-part interface is successful. Without its presence, ethanol cannot be made.

A two-year study led by researchers at the University of Toronto has found large trucks to be the greatest contributors to black carbon emissions close to major roadways. This was in part due to differences in wind and proximity to the road but, surprisingly, the number of vehicles didn’t make that much of a difference. Jonathan M.

As part of the settlement, the companies will spend $575,000 on air filtration systems at schools in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Heavy-duty trucks can emit drastically higher levels of pollution when not equipped with required emissions controls. Schools near major freeways can be exposed to high levels of traffic pollution.

Urban planners should plant hedges—or a combination of trees with hedges—rather than just relying on roadside trees if they are most effectively to reduce pollution exposure from cars in near-road environments, according to a new study from the University of Surrey. The best way to tackle pollution is to control it at the source.
