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 ...

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 ...
