Air Quality News Stories
Current Air Quality News Events, Discoveries and Articles
Beijing pollution may trigger heart attacks, strokes
Olympic athletes aren't the only ones who need to be concerned about the heavily polluted air in Beijing. The dirty air may trigger serious cardiovascular problems for some spectators. (2008-07-22)
Database shows effects of acid rain on microorganisms in Adirondack Lakes
Prior to the federal Clean Air Act, unhindered industrial emissions were released into the air throughout the Midwestern and Eastern United States for decades. Many of those harmful chemicals came right back down to earth in the form of acid rain, a chemical concoction that includes nitric and sulfuric acid. (2008-06-24)
Ecological globalization
Ecosystems are constantly exchanging materials through the movement of air in the atmosphere, the flow of water in rivers and the migration of animals across the landscape. (2008-06-02)
Observations from space: NASA environmental data and lung disease
NASA gathers a tremendous amount of data on the environment that can be helpful in understanding lung disease. (2008-05-19)
Air pollution affects respiratory health in children with asthma
A new study reports that inner-city children with asthma may be particularly vulnerable to air pollution at levels below current air quality standards. (2008-04-16)
Sea salt worsens coastal air pollution: study
Air pollution in the world's busiest ports and shipping regions may be markedly worse than previously suspected, according to a new study showing that industrial and shipping pollution is exacerbated when it combines with sunshine and salty sea air. (2008-04-09)
Americans living longer, enjoying greater health and prosperity, but important disparities remain
Average life expectancy continues to increase, and today's older Americans enjoy better health and financial security than any previous generation. (2008-03-28)
NASA satellite measures pollution from east Asia to North America
In a new NASA study, researchers taking advantage of improvements in satellite sensor capabilities offer the first measurement-based estimate of the amount of pollution from East Asian forest fires, urban exhaust, and industrial production that makes its way to western North America. (2008-03-18)
Case links woman's death to environmental tobacco smoke, MSU prof says
A young asthmatic woman who collapsed and died shortly after arriving for her shift as a waitress at a bar may be the first reported death to be reported nationally from acute asthma associated with environmental tobacco smoke. (2008-02-11)
First-ever study to link increased mortality specifically to carbon dioxide emissions
A Stanford scientist has spelled out for the first time the direct links between increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and increases in human mortality, using a state-of-the-art computer model of the atmosphere that incorporates scores of physical and chemical environmental processes.
