Cool, air blown under football shoulder pads reduces body temperature and heart rate, research finds
Cool, dry air flowing between the athlete and their football pads reduces core body temperature and heart rate dramatically, thereby reducing the likelihood of heat-related illness. view more (2008-07-10)
Study recommends new guidelines for air bag safety in children
Children 14 and younger should not sit in the front passenger seat of cars equipped with air bags, according to a new study by an emergency medicine researcher at Oregon Health & Science University's Doernbecher Children's Hospital. view more (2005-06-06)
Asthma epidemics linked to airflow patterns in thunderstorms
It's the airflow patterns in thunderstorms, rather than the electrical activity, thunder, or rain, which trigger asthma epidemics, concludes research in Thorax. The hospital admission rates for asthma and airflow patterns during thunderstorms up to 80 km away were studied for six towns in south eastern Australia between 1995 and 1998. Hourly... view more...

Lords Call For Action On Air Travel and Health
There must be changes in the regulation and management of the air travel industry – accompanied by urgent research – if passenger and crew health is to be properly safeguarded. This call is made today in a Report by the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee – Air Travel and Health. The Report follows an Inquiry against... view more... (2000-11-22)
Air pollution damages plants
If you live in a large town or city, have you ever wondered why some plants do not grow well in your garden, despite your best efforts? It is, in part, because of air pollution. At a symposium on the biology of air pollution hosted by the Institute of Biology this week in London, delegates heard from experts about the effects of pollutants on... view more... (1999-10-27)

Magnetic Leaves Reveal Bellingham's Most Polluted Byways
Tree leaves may be powerful tools for monitoring air quality and planning biking routes and walking paths, suggests a new study by scientists at Western Washington University in Bellingham. The research will be presented at this month's Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of America in Portland, Oregon. view more (2009-10-16)
Safer skies for the flying public
University of Texas professor Constantine Caramanis and colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are working on a air traffic decision-making system that rapidly adapts its flight recommendations without human input based on thousands of changing variables. view more (2008-09-04)
Most popular websites not necessarily of highest quality
The more popular websites providing information about breast cancer are not necessarily of higher quality, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-03-06)
Research reveals exactly how coughing is triggered by environmental irritants
Scientists have revealed how environmental irritants such as air pollution and cigarette smoke cause people to cough, in research published today in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. view more (2009-11-24)
Gone With the Wind? Over A Hundred Scientists Take To The Skies To Track Global Air Pollution
This morning a team of forty scientists from seven UK universities will travel to the Azores to join hundreds more in the largest international atmospheric field campaign of its type ever attempted. The exciting mission will track and investigate a mass of polluted air as it leaves the United States and travels across the Atlantic to the UK and... view more... (2004-07-08)
UCI scientists first to predict air quality impact of small-scale power sources
As California searches for more sources of power, researchers at UC Irvine have created the first scientific method for predicting the impact of small-scale generators on air quality - a tool that could help the state develop environmentally sound policies to regulate and promote their use. view more (2006-08-22)
EU research drive to reduce air pollution from traffic
Today the EU signed an agreement with the USA, Japan and China to address air pollution from transport. Signed during a conference in Milan, the accord will allow for joint research on emissions and vehicle testing, and it foresees the creation of a common scientific platform to measure and benchmark air pollution from traffic. The joint effort... view more... (2003-12-10)

Air Rather Than Oxygen For Babies Requiring Ventilation After Delivery (pp 1293, 1329)
Provision of air rather than 100% oxygen for babies requiring ventilation after delivery could reduce infant mortality, suggests a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The finding is counter to the long-held belief that 100% oxygen is better than air for babies requiring ventilation in the first few minutes of life. view more (2004-10-06)
3-D computer simulation to aid treatment of collapsed lungs
The treatment of premature babies and adults who suffer from Respiratory Distress Syndrome could be boosted by new research at The University of Manchester, as published in the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering. view more (2006-07-26)
