DHAQ-SEA - Demonstration of High-resolution Air Quality forecasting in South East Asia
There is an increased risk of certain health conditions where ambient air pollution levels are high. CERC are working on a feasibility study for high-resolution (street-scale) air quality forecasting in South East Asia. ASEAN countries can be subject to poor air quality as a consequence of transboundary pollution as well as local pollutant sources. Alerting the public prior to air pollution ...

TVOC Sensor Boosts AQM Performance
Particles Plus revealed their new PID and NDIR environmental sensors, enhancing performance for their line of Air Quality Monitors. While previous versions performed to specification, the new sensors bring their environmental monitoring to a new level of accuracy and repeatability. The enhanced sensor for CO2 employs a sophisticated non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) detector that, coupled with free ...

Beijing game for clean air challenge
With the Olympic Games in sight, the Chinese Government is committed to improving the air quality in Beijing, and has had measures in place since 1998 which have already made a difference. However, there is still some way to go to meet national air quality standards in the Chinese capital, according to Professor Wang Wen-Xing and his team from the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental ...

EU ship emissions directive improves air quality in harbours
To reduce air pollution levels in harbours, EU Directive 2005/33/EC requires all anchored ships to use fuels with low sulphur content. A recent study of air quality in Mediterranean harbours shows that levels of sulphur dioxide have decreased significantly since the Directive was implemented in 2010. Ships are a major source of harmful air pollutants, such as sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen ...

Children with asthma affected by `safe` levels of air pollution
Children with asthma living in cities are especially vulnerable to urban pollution. Emissions from motor vehicles, in particular, are thought to provoke asthma-related symptoms. New research suggests that even 'safe' levels of atmospheric pollutants can affect children with asthma, causing breathing difficulties and an associated increase in health problems. Researchers examined the relationship ...

Cyclists map Antwerp air pollution with on-bike monitors
Cyclists with pollution monitors and GPS trackers attached to their bicycles have produced detailed maps of Antwerp’s air quality, as part of a recent study. Their data show that a gap of just a few metres between cycle lanes and cars significantly reduces cyclists’ risk of inhaling high levels of ultrafine particle pollution. Personal ‘mobile monitoring’ is attracting ...

Ozone levels still pose risk to health and vegetation
Peak levels of ozone pollution have fallen at rural and urban sites in both Europe and the US in recent years, a new study shows. However, the research also found that limits to protect health and ecosystems are still being exceeded. After particulate matter, ground-level ozone is considered to be the second most important air pollutant in terms of its effects on human health. However, its ...
