An international team of scientists, led by NTU Singapore, has linked increased air pollution to an uptick in cases of lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) worldwide. The results of the study were published in the journal Atmospheric Environment. Black carbon is a pollutant that is classified as under PM 2.5. micrograms per cubic meter (?

The report for the Department for Transport is based on a survey module included in the Office for National Statistics’ Opinions (Omnibus) survey which has been carried out each August since 2006. It found that 65% of respondents spontaneously selected emissions from road transport as a cause of climate change.

Ozone pollution across the continental United States will become far more difficult to keep in check as temperatures rise, according to new work led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Ozone pollution also damages crops and other plants. Scenario A2 and RCP 8.5. Ozone formation.

They also found that extending the lifetime of a vehicle contributed to a moderate increase in emissions of criteria pollutants (NO x , HC, and CO) during the use phase of the vehicle. A one-year reduction in vehicle lifetime would increase the demand by approximately 8.3%. times the rate of the increase in demand. —Kagawa et al.

We need to ask “How badly—from acquiring basic materials to putting it on the road—does each newly-proposed vehicle contribute to the destruction of the environment?” This helps to explain the climate changes we are now experiencing. Statistics also verify engineering success.
