Swiss team finds particle emissions from aircraft turbine engines at ground-idle induce oxidative stress in bronchial cells

Green Car Congress

Now, in addition to already investigated particle sources such as emissions from heating systems, industry and road traffic, aircraft turbine engine particle emissions have, in the wake of increasing air traffic, also become more important. Image: University of Bern /SR Technics Switzerland AG.

Researchers contend that large-scale forest bioenergy is neither sustainable nor greenhouse-gas neutral

Green Car Congress

Large-scale bioenergy production from forest biomass is unsustainable and will increase greenhouse gas emissions, according to a group of international researchers in an invited analysis in the journal Global Change Biology/Bioenergy. The work was supported by several agencies in Europe and the US Department of Energy.
