Condensable particulate matter - exceptions to the rule
With the recent revisions to Method 202 for condensable particulate matter (CPM), the US EPA included an exception to the requirement to extract the CPM filter (the secondary filter that is located between the “warm” and “cold” sections of the impinger train). The exception is subject to the following conditions: The source temperature is less than 85°F; Sampling ...

Car-free Milan after PM pollution
The Italian city of Milan was totally car-free for 10 hours on 9 October because pollution had exceeded permitted levels for 12 consecutive days. According to the Italian press, around 120 000 vehicles were affected by the ban, which started at 0800 and ended at 1800. Certain groups of high-emissions vehicles were banned three days earlier. A similar all-traffic ban happened in February. Milan ...

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. ...

ACS supplies Hurricane System for powder milk capture
Advanced Cyclone Systems will supply a Hurricane System to reduce particulate matter of dried powder milk from the flue gases of a drying tower in the Azores islands. Emissions after this system will be compliant with regulatory limits. The client – NESTLÉ Prolacto - will therefore avoid the installation of a bag filter as an end stage ...

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 ...

Air quality vote: MEPs declare war on dangerous dust
The car driving by you, the building site you walk past - these are just some of the things that pump dust into the air and into our lungs. This can cause breathing difficulties, illness and even premature death. Known as 'particulate matter' (PM), levels are rising. On Tuesday MEPs agreed binding targets on the level of particles by 2015, which will also oblige EU authorities to measure and ...

Mayor confirms LEZ phase 3 delay
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has confirmed that implementation of the third phase of the London Low Emission Zone will be delayed until January 2012. The announcement follows a consultation earlier this year. The third phase covers larger vans, minibuses and diesel-engined specialist vehicles derived from vans, such as motor caravans , which will have to meet a Euro III standard for ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. ...
