Air pollution linked to Cardiac arrests
Researchers in New York have linked exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) with an increased risk of cardiac arrest. While particulate matter has previously been strongly associated with long term heart disease, this is the first time that it has been linked with sudden cardiac arrest. The team, led by Dr. Robert A Silverman ( Long Island Jewish Medical Centre, New York), compared readings ...

Are your grease filters a fire hazard?
Lockdown began in the UK on 23rd March and pubs and restaurants were closed the Friday before. Unless you removed and cleaned your grease filters in your commercial kitchen on the day or have done so during lock down it’s likely they will be covered in grease and particulate matter. We recommend checking your grease filters, extract system and carbon units prior to opening up again. ...

Identifying occupational exposure risks to particulate matter in New York
Throughout New York and the tri-state area there are countless workers in numerous occupations that are exposed to elevated levels of particulate matter, also known as PM. Some particulate matter, such as dust, dirt, soot, or smoke, is large or dark enough to be seen with the naked eye. Others are so small they can only be detected using an electron microscope. The U.S. Environmental Protection ...

Identifying Particulate Matter Pollution Hazards in Businesses and Institutions throughout Puerto Rico
There are many industries across Puerto Rico and the Caribbean that expose workers to elevated levels of particulate matter, also known as PM. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) describes particulate matter as a mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets found in the air. Some particles, such as dust, dirt, soot or smoke, are large or dark enough to be seen with the naked eye. ...

New Yakima Valley air monitor measures particulate pollution
The Yakima Regional Clean Air Agency will begin operating a new air quality monitor to measure fine particulate matter in the Sunnyside region of the Yakima Valley. The monitor, which will gather data on particulate matter for a year, will allow regulatory agencies to develop effective strategies to protect air quality in the Yakima Valley and inform burn ban decisions. The monitor is located at ...

Diesel Exhaust, Particulate Matter and Indoor Air Quality Concerns in Puerto Rico
Diesel engines provide power for a wide variety of vehicles, heavy equipment and other machinery used in many industries across Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. The exhaust from these diesel engines contains a mixture of gases and very small particles that can create a health hazard if not properly controlled for not only workers using the equipment, but also for people in nearby homes and ...

Monitoring how aerosols affect climate change
Monitoring aerosols is of growing interest especially as current research has indicated that fine particulates are linked to not only adverse health effects but also climate change. It has been known for some time that fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been widely linked to adverse health effects such as asthma. Approximately 70% of particulate mass generated by, for example, bush fires is ...

Cleaner air, longer lives
Original story at MIT News The air we breathe contains particulate matter from a range of natural and human-related sources. Particulate matter is responsible for thousands of premature deaths in the United States each year, but legislation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is credited with significantly decreasing this number, as well as the amount of particulate matter in the ...

PM2.5 air pollution strongly linked to increased risk of heart attacks
Long-term exposure to particulate matter pollution is strongly linked with heart attacks and angina, a new European study of over 100 000 people has shown. The results indicate that this association exists at levels below current European limits, and that the burden of disease due to particulate matter may have been largely underestimated. In 2008, the EU adopted a new Air Quality Directive ...
