Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) combine with nitrogen oxide to create ozone, a key precursor to smog. In 2010, the Central Government of China integrated the "Guideline on Strengthening Joint Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution to Improve Air Quality" into its 12th Five Year Plan. Air emission reform in China.
Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas and one of the main stratospheric ozone depleting substances on the planet. IIASA contributed N2O emission inventory data from the Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollution Interactions and Synergies (GAINS) model, including those from industrial processes needed for data alignment. “We
The Environmental Defense Fund, the American Forest Foundation, American Forests, and TNC are also members of the Forest-Climate Working Group, a political advocacy organization, alongside scores of wood product companies, including Enviva and Drax, biomass energy behemoths whose carbon-intensive operations have polluted U.S.
Unfortunately, contemporary ice-making and maintenance technologies consume large amounts of energy and produce refrigerant gases that cause pollution , making them environmentally harmful. CFCs and HCFCs are synthetic gases attributed to ozone layer destruction. Traditional ice rinks have noise, energy waste and pollution costs.

It attempts a snapshot of air pollution exposure in over 7000 cities worldwide, and its impact on health. and NO2 pollution, with fine particles seeming to be an affliction of the world’s poorer regions especially, while NO2 is a problem for city dwellers everywhere. over 2010-2019. Between NO2 and PM2.5,
But ground-level ozone and other pollutants from cars, power plants, industrial boilers, refineries and chemical plants can kill. Pollution is so bad in some parts of the world that people are instructed to stay indoors. Pollution is so bad in some parts of the world that people are instructed to stay indoors.
Researchers, including Basu, had already documented the impacts of air pollution on adverse pregnancy outcomes. She published the research in 2010, and even though she focused on California, it was the first large-scale epidemiological study looking at preterm delivery and temperature conducted anywhere in the world. And the U.S.
Public Health Watch also analyzed more recent TCEQ pollution data and found that Channelview’s benzene problem has only worsened over the years. A Public Health Watch analysis of TCEQ pollution data shows that between 2019 and 2021, annual readings soared as high as 2.1 ppb, exceeding even today’s weakened TCEQ guidelines by 50%.
Think: opioids, or ozone-depleting chemicals, or leaded-gasoline, or asbestos, or DDT. by 2030, and the solar industry has experienced a growth rate of more than 48 percent a year since 2010. Wind energy is already on track to supply 20 percent of electricity in the U.S.
As the chief toxicologist for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the state environmental protection agency, Honeycutt had developed a reputation for holding fringe views on air pollution. In one interview, he went so far as to suggest that reducing ozone levels might result in worse public health outcomes. “I
