Scientists from UCLA’s Fielding School of Public Health have found a possible link between exposure to traffic-related air pollution and several rare childhood cancers. Pollution exposure was estimated for the area around each child’s home for each trimester of their mother’s pregnancy and during their first year of life.
pollution, new open-access research published in PLOS ONE suggests that PM 2.5 is connected with chronic kidney disease (CKD), which occurs when a person’s kidneys become damaged or cannot filter blood properly. Similar to smoking, air pollution contains harmful toxins that can directly affect the kidneys. concentration.
A team at the University of Stirling in the UK has found new evidence of the link between air pollution and cancer as part of a new occupational health study. This new research indicates the role of traffic-related air pollution in contributing to the increasing incidence of breast cancer in the general population.
The processes that create ozone pollution in the summer can also trigger the formation of wintertime air pollution, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder and NOAA, in partnership with the University of Utah. A key control strategy is to reduce emissions of the limiting reagent.

The zero-emission buses (ZEBs) support a new route called The Dash, a zero-emission service connecting Downtown Fort Worth with its Cultural District and utilizing Trinity Metro’s first all- electric buses. The bus showcased reduced air and noise pollution, and enhancements such as wood-like floors and USB charge ports for passengers.
But, in many high-use areas and remote locations, upgrading grid connections to meet future charging demand is not practical or commercially viable. Not only can IPG’s technology deliver low-emission, pollutant-free energy on today’s cleaner fuels. This growth will require high megawatt capacities across England’s road networks.
This reduces the time expended in looking for a parking space and the impact on the environment due to the emission of pollutants. Customers can either use the ParkNow App for smart phones to look for a parking space, or reserve a parking space on the ParkNow website and pay for their space immediately.

How reinforcement learning can reduce congestion. —Marta Gonzalez.
With its quiet operation, the LR Electric will meet the needs of customers working in an urban setting who are seeking to cut noise pollution and operate quietly at night. In addition, minimal changes to the gauges and select switchgear were made, allowing Mack to carry over the ergonomic driver-designed LR cab.
The benefits of connected, self-driving cars (CAVs) will likely induce vehicle owners to drive more, and those extra miles could partially or completely offset the potential energy-saving benefits that automation may provide, according to a new University of Michigan study. 2019.03.174.
In the pilot, Boulder will connect one of its electric fleet vehicles to the V2B charging system, which also connects to the recreation center’s electricity system. Not only can electric vehicles help meet our climate goals and reduce air pollution, they might be a strategy to reduce operation costs and enhance resilience.
Researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and their collaborators in Israel and China have found that heavy human-caused air pollution over the Sichuan Basin just upwind contributed to the catastrophic 2013 Sichuan Flood that killed up to 200 people with hundreds more missing.

Both new tankers are ice-strengthened and equipped with Terntank’s Hybrid Solution electric power supply system, battery pack and on-shore power connection. Terntank has extensive experience in operating this type of vessels with solutions that minimize pollution near populated areas such as ports.
To settle this case, the company agreed to pay $253,300 to the Air Pollution Control Fund to support efforts to improve air quality, and to comply with all applicable CARB regulations. The original At-Berth Regulation, adopted in 2007, requires vessel fleets to reduce their diesel engine power generation while docked.
Power reduction requirements have been phased in over time and fleets can accomplish this by turning off their diesel engines and connecting to grid-based shore power, or by using alternative technologies to achieve equivalent emission reductions while in port. To resolve these violations, Del Monte agreed to pay a settlement of $1,990,650.
