Babies in strollers can be exposed to up to ~60% higher average concentrations of pollution than their parents, causing potential damage to their frontal lobe and impacting on their cognitive abilities and brain development, according to a study by researchers at the University of Surrey (UK).

As part of the Horizon 2020 research project CARES (City Air Remote Emission Sensing), an international research consortium is working on new contactless exhaust measurement methods that will enable municipalities to take emission-reducing measures. The aim is to detect the exhaust class of each individual vehicle using these measurements.

A development in catalysis research by academics at the Universities of St Andrews and Newcastle could lead to new systems to treat diesel emissions. This is referred to as “chemistry at a point”. Catalysts are typically metallic nanoparticles—often platinum group metals—that are finely deposited upon a substrate.

Now, researchers at Kumamoto University in Japan, led by Professor Masato Machida, have developed a new composite material—a CeO 2 -grafted MnFeO y (CeO 2 /MnFeO y ) as a substitute for the conventional CeO 2 material in three-way catalysts. wt% Pd/A2O3, and the reference catalyst was a mixture of 1 wt% Rh/CeO 2 and Pd/A 2 O 3.

Often referred to as scavenger cells, they absorb and engulf microorganisms. Since macrophages also play a key role in lung diseases such as COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), the new study is important for understanding the health risks of ship exhausts. Their open access paper is published in the journal PLOS ONE.

This goal will be facilitated by fundamental research to establish the basis for new concepts, design elements and tools performed through university/industry/national laboratory partnerships. catalytic) technologies to reduce toxic gas and particulate emissions. high temperature, low heat-loss materials for engine application.

For offsets to be credible, a ton of CO 2 -equivalent emissions from an offset project should equate to a ton reduced from a covered emission source, such as a smokestack or exhaust pipe. To be credible, as noted above, an offset should equate to an emission reduction from a direct emission source, such as a smokestack or exhaust pipe.
