Urban trees could improve air quality, according to EU study
Planting trees in urban areas could cut particulate pollution in cities by as much as a quarter, according to a new study. Small air particles, especially those less than 10μm in diameter (PM10) pose a long-term threat to human health. These can originate from human activities, including exhaust fumes or smoke, or from natural causes, such as dust. The study shows that trees are particularly ...

Green infrastructure in street canyons could reduce air pollution
Planting vegetation in city streets could significantly reduce air pollution in urban street canyons, according to new research. Traffic pollutants are deposited on vegetation at a higher rate than on hard, built surfaces and could reduce the concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and PM10 in the air by as much as 40% and 60%, respectively, under certain conditions. Outdoor air pollution is a ...

USEPA Approval for Ecotech’s High Volume Air Sampler
The US EPA has announced the designation of Ecotech’s HVS3000 High Volume Air Sampler as a new reference method for measuring concentrations of PM10 in the ambient air. The designation is made under the provisions of 40 CFR part 53, as amended on July 18, 1997 (62 FR 38764). The newly designated reference method is identified as follows: RFPS–0706–162, Ecotech Pty. Ltd. Model 3000 PM10 High ...

LondonAir Nowcast launched
The LondonAir Nowcast has been launched as part of an updated LondonAir website. The LondonAir Nowcast uses a combination of measured and modelled NO2 and PM10 concentrations to produce a 20m resolution map of air pollution in the capital each hour. The LondonAir Nowcast is an important step forward to help Londoners visualise the air pollution that affects their daily lives. The Nowcast maps are ...

CERC assesses Low Traffic Neighbourhoods in Lambeth and Southwark
As part of an emergency transport response to the pandemic, Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) have been introduced in many London Boroughs, to help people safely walk, cycle and use public transport. CERC consultants have been evaluating the air quality impact of LTN schemes, including five schemes in Lambeth and the Walworth and Dulwich schemes in Southwark. Using local traffic monitoring ...

Long-term exposure to air pollution associated with an increased risk of type-2 diabetes
Long-term exposure to air pollution may increase the risk of developing type-2 diabetes, a Swiss study has found. The results also suggest that the association between type-2 diabetes and air pollution occurs at concentrations below World Health Organization (WHO) air quality guidelines. Air pollution has been linked with high blood pressure as well as heart and respiratory disease. Heart ...

What are ultrafine particles, and how can you include size distributions and concentrations as part of routine air quality monitoring?
Ultrafine particles (UFP) are particles that are too small to contribute appreciably to mass-based measurements, but are present in ambient air. While regulations focus on PM and neglect ultrafine particle number concentrations, a growing body of research is investigating the ultrafines present in the air we breathe. The findings of this research motivate the measurement of ultrafine particles at ...
