Greater risk of heart defects for babies born near unconventional gas wells in Colorado
Pregnant women living within 16 km of unconventional gas wells in Colorado, US, are up to 30% more likely to give birth to a baby with a heart defect, new research has found. These findings suggest that more research is needed to understand the potential health impact of natural gas developments, say the researchers. In recent years natural gas development has sharply increased, partly driven by ...

Global air quality to worsen significantly under ‘business as usual’ human activity
Global air quality will significantly deteriorate by 2050 unless further steps are taken to cut current emissions from human activities, according to recent research. Most people around the world will be affected by worsening air quality with hotspots of particularly poor air occurring in China, northern India and the Middle East. Despite measures to abate air pollution in many parts of the ...

Air Quality Monitors in Brighton catch fire data (no pun intended)
During the afternoon of Saturday 15th July, a fire was reported at the Albion Hotel, on Brighton’s seafront. This was no small incident: three days later, around Tuesday lunchtime, there were still pockets of fire smouldering and, sadly, part of the building was left as little more than a shell. With concern for the health and safety of the surrounding areas of the city, residents and ...

The co-benefits of co-ordinated climate change policy
Globally co-ordinated climate change policy to limit warming to 2¢XC could provide additional health, ecological and economic benefits. Using established methods, researchers estimated that the implementation of climate policy would also reduce global expenditures on air pollution control in 2050 by £á250 billion. Climate change mitigation is essential but expensive. However, ...
