of the human-made climate impact; two-thirds of this impact are caused by emissions other than CO 2 , according to a new study by researchers in Europe and the US. The study was published in the journal Atmospheric Environment. This new study is based on a thorough review of a decade of research on aviation emissions.

The Health Effects Institute (HEI) has launched two new studies funded under RFA 21-1, Quantifying Real-World Impacts of Non-Tailpipe Particulate Matter Emissions. What is the contribution of NTP emissions to ambient PM in large, high traffic cities? The project will be executed as four integrated sub-studies.

A study by researchers at CU Boulder and Edinburgh Napier University finds that high-density, low-rise environments such as those found in Paris are the optimal urban form when looking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions over their whole life cycle. However, urban environmental design often neglects life cycle GHG emissions.

The open-access paper on the study is published in the RSC journal Energy & Environmental Science. The NWIS comprises mostly gas-fired generation and has a GHG emission factor of 620 g CO 2 -e kWh -1. However, under reasonably anticipated conditions with grid buffering, the GHG emissions may be comparable to SMR. Palmer et al.

A study by researchers in Australia and China has determined that global food-miles account for nearly 20% of total food-systems emissions; moving fruit and vegetables in refrigerated vehicles is particularly emissions-intensive. They found that, in 2017, food transportation added emissions equivalent to 3.0 GtCO 2 e (3.5–7.5
