Los Angeles case study: how to prepare the grid for electric medium- and heavy-duty trucks

Charged

Los Angeles is a hub of freight activityand (not coincidentally) the home of the worst ozone pollution in the nation. Fleet operators, CaaS (Charging-as-a-Service) providers and other stakeholders need data on where and when MDHD trucks currently operate, where future power demand will be, and how this demand will impact the grid.

Study establishes £37 million saving from pollution measures

Envirotec Magazine

EarthSense Zephyr monitors were employed in the study. Launched in November 2022, and funded by a UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), the project examined the link between air pollution, behaviour and the cost of air pollution-related healthcare in the Sandwell area.

Good vibrations (for continuous pollutant measurement anyway)

Envirotec Magazine

A laser-based technology developed at TU Graz can provide continual real-time analysis of air pollutants and their interaction with other gases and sunlight – with revolutionary import, suggest the group. A well-known example is the formation of ground-level ozone when UV light hits nitrogen oxides.

China’s new frontier for VOC regulations

GreenBiz

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.

Less air pollution leads to higher crop yields, says study

Envirotec Magazine

A new Stanford University-led study seems to reveal that removing one thing in particular – a common air pollutant – could lead to dramatic gains in crop yields. Nitrogen oxides, or NOx, are among the most widely emitted pollutants in the world. A NOx-ious problem. Image credit: Lobell, et al. Science Advances.

Healthy choices helper?

Envirotec Magazine

An emerging class of personal air quality monitoring devices fills a need for people who care about pollution exposure in their immediate vicinity. The case for personal monitoring devices of this kind seems to rest upon the realisation that air quality can vary quite noticeably over even small distances.
