Ozone and particulates most serious air quality problems in Europe

Air quality in Europe has improved between 1990 and 2009, as emissions of most pollutants have fallen, according to a new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA). But there is still a lot of room for improvement, as many EU countries are expected to exceed the emissions ceilings in 2010 for at least one pollutant. In addition, concentration levels of ground-level ozone and particulate ...

U.S. EPA Finds South Coast Air Basin Meets Health Standard for Coarse Particulate Matter

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has proposed to find the South Coast air basin in attainment for the coarse particulate matter standard, otherwise known as PM-10. EPA is also proposing to approve the state’s maintenance plan that demonstrates how the area will continue to achieve the standard for at least the next ten years. Today’s finding is based on PM-10 data collected ...

Effects of reducing particulate emissions from vehicles

Vehicles are an important source of particulate matter (PM) pollutants. A new study cautions that reductions in PM exhaust emissions will not necessarily be matched an equal reduction in the toxic effects of emissions on health and the environment. This is important when designing regulations to limit the ecotoxicity of exhaust PM. Incomplete combustion of fuels and the breakdown of lubricants ...
