Study shows two-stroke scooters dominant source of air pollution in many cities; asymmetric polluters

Green Car Congress

A study by European researchers has found that two-stroke (2S) scooters, although constituting a small fraction of the fleet, can dominate urban vehicular pollution through organic aerosol and aromatic emission factors up to thousands of times higher than from other vehicle classes.

Researchers present new explanation for the long-range transport of PAH pollutants

Green Car Congress

When airborne particles (green) form before PAHs adhere, both the pollutants and particles dissipate quickly, as shown in the top row. But when the particles form in the presence of pollutants, which is what likely happens in nature, the longer-lasting particles enable the long-range transport of the pollutants (bottom).

European Environment Agency report finds carbon capture and storage could also impact air pollution

Green Car Congress

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) involves capturing carbon dioxide released by power stations and other industrial sources, and burying it deep underground. The report shows that while CCS may have an overall positive effect on air pollution, emissions of some pollutants may increase.

NIH study links air pollution to increase in newborn intensive care admissions

Green Car Congress

Infants born to women exposed to high levels of air pollution in the week before delivery are more likely to be admitted to a newborn intensive care unit (NICU), suggests an analysis by researchers at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). Short-term exposure to most types of air pollutants may increase the risk for NICU admission.
