Cranfield publishes second report into low-cost airlines
Low-cost scheduled airlines have revolutionised short-haul air travel, particularly in the UK and Western Europe. The rapid growth of low-cost scheduled carriers in Europe is in sharp contrast to the charter airlines who have seen traffic stagnate or even decline. As the no-frills sector matures, however, a potential over-supply of airline seats means that some no-frills airlines will struggle to... View More (2003-09-03)
High hourly air pollution levels more than double stroke risk
High hourly levels of air pollution, more than double the risk of one type of stroke, suggests research published ahead of print in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. View More (2006-09-21)
Faster and More Efficient Software for the Air Force
Researchers at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln have addressed the issue of faulty software by developing an algorithm and open source tool that is 300 times faster at generating tests and also reduces current software testing time. View More (2010-01-12)
Study establishes link between air pollution, ischemic strokes
The risk of ischemic stroke - which results when a blood clot travels to the brain - increases with a rise in particulate air pollution. View More (2005-10-31)
Washington Getting a Summertime Air Quality Exam
Summer in the city can often mean sweltering "bad air days" that threaten the health of the elderly, children and those with respiratory problems. This summer the nation's capitol has been no stranger to such severe air-quality alerts. View More (2006-08-07)
Climate change increases the risk of ozone damage to plants
Ground-level ozone is an air pollutant that harms humans and plants. Both climate and weather play a major role in ozone damage to plants. View More (2011-07-01)
Study finds dirty air in California causes millions worth of medical care each year
California's dirty air caused more than $193 million in hospital-based medical care from 2005 to 2007 as people sought help for problems such as asthma and pneumonia that are triggered by elevated pollution levels, according to a new RAND Corporation study. View More (2010-03-02)
Can aromatherapy produce harmful indoor air pollutants?
Spas that offer massage therapy using fragrant essential oils, called aromatherapy, may have elevated levels of potentially harmful indoor air pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and ultrafine particles. View More (2011-10-21)
Lichens function as indicators of nitrogen pollution in forests
Scientists have found lichens can give insight into nitrogen air pollution effects on Sierra Nevada and San Bernardino mountain ecosystems, and protecting them provides safeguards for less sensitive species. View More (2008-10-07)
Homes of the poor and the affluent both have high levels of endocrine disruptors
Homes in low-income and affluent communities in California both had similarly high levels of endocrine disruptors, and the levels were higher in indoor air than outdoor air, according to a new study believed to be the first that paired indoor and outdoor air samples for such wide range (104) of these substances.

NASA sees Depression Nine become Gaston then back to a depression
Tropical Depression Nine strengthened yesterday into Tropical Storm Gaston, but today it ran into dry and stable air and weakened back into a depression again. View More (2010-09-03)
'Thirdhand smoke' may be bigger health hazard than previously believed
Scientists are reporting that so-called "thirdhand smoke" - the invisible remains of cigarette smoke that deposits on carpeting, clothing, furniture and other surfaces - may be even more of a health hazard than previously believed. View More (2011-01-13)
Crew rotation and passenger connections spread flight delays
A study led by researchers of the Spanish National Research Council and the University of the Balearic Islands asserts that crew rotation and passengers connections systematically spread flight delays due to a domino effect. View More (2013-02-13)
With Hot Air Treatment, Bacteria Fly the Coop
Poultry producers can reduce bacterial cross-contamination in poultry cages by treating the cages with forced air that's been heated to 122 degrees Fahrenheit, according to a study by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists. View More (2013-01-29)
New technology improves greenhouse, plant microclimates
A study in HortTechnology featured a new technology that improved greenhouse climates by reducing solar heat radiation and temperatures during the hot summer season. View More (2011-01-03)
Biosensor for the prevention of diseases associated with air-conditioning systems
The aim of this project is the development of a biosensor for the rapid detection of the Aspergillus fungus. This new biosensor enables the prevention of allergies and associated infections involving air-conditioning systems, common in institutional and company buildings. View More (2004-03-05)
European award for University of Kent
The University of Kent has welcomed the news that it has been presented with an internationally recognised award for the quality of its European Exchange programmes. View More (2004-12-21)
Rain showers may be caused by vortices in the air
The Delft researchers calculated how hundreds of thousands of water droplets contained in about one litre of cloud move and grow. During this process, it would seem that tubular-shaped vortices a few centimetres in size are formed and that these force the droplets outwards by centrifugal force, so that they congregate at the edge. For rain to be precipitated, approximately one in every million... View More (1999-11-09)
'Air shower' set to cut water use by 30 per cent
As Australians become increasingly alert to the importance of using water wisely in the home, CSIRO researchers have found a way to use a third less water when you shower - by adding air. View More (2006-11-10)
Even low levels of air pollution may pose stroke risk
Short-term exposure to low levels of particulate air pollution may increase the risk of stroke or mini-stroke, according to findings that suggest current exposure standards could be insufficient to protect the public. View More (2008-06-02)
