Network of scientists is driving force in EU air pollution policy
Atmospheric protection is a big challenge for the 21st century. In teaching scientists to design outputs that become the stuff of hard policy, the impact of EUROTRAC-2 is far-reaching. Nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide and aerosols, major contributors to atmospheric pollution, do not respect national borders. But thanks to EUREKA project E! 1489 EUROTRAC-2, the EU's largest ever study on... View More (2003-12-04)
Ozone levels have sizeable impact on worker productivity

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)
Morning-after spike in ozone air pollution from Super Bowl XLV?
Not even the most avid fans could notice, but those spectacular aerial images of a brightly-lit Cowboys Stadium during Sunday's Super Bowl XLV symbolize one of the hottest new pieces of scientific intelligence about air pollution. View More (2011-02-04)
New study shows how trees clean the air in London
New research by scientists at the University of Southampton has shown how London's trees can improve air quality by filtering out pollution particulates, which are damaging to human health. View More (2011-10-06)
Cleaner Air Linked To Reduced Death Rates
Two population studies in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how poor air quality is directly related to increased risk of death from respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Luke Clancy from St James Hospital, Dublin, and colleagues from Trinity College and Dublin Institute of Technology, Dublin, Ireland, and Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, USA, examined the effect of the 1990...

Air pollution, gone with the wind
As urban populations expand, downtown buildings are going nowhere but up. The huge energy needs of these skyscrapers mean that these towers are not only office buildings, they're polluters with smokestacks billowing out toxins from the rooftop. View More (2012-11-02)
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. View More (2008-07-22)
Air pollution linked to hospitalizations for pneumonia in seniors
A McMaster University researcher has found the first evidence that prolonged exposure to higher levels of the pollutants found in car exhaust fumes and industrial air pollution can lead to hospitalization for pneumonia in adults aged 65 and older. View More (2009-12-23)
Environmental factors, particularly air pollution, increases risk of myocardial infarction
Exposure to air pollutants increases the risk of fatal myocardial infarction (MI), particularly pollutants caused by motor traffic. This is the conclusion of a new thesis published by Karolinska Institutet. View More (2005-04-22)
Air pollution damages more than lungs: Heart and blood vessels suffer too
As athletes from around the world compete in the Beijing Olympics, many are on alert for respiratory problems caused by air pollution. They should also be concerned about its toxic effects on the heart and cardiovascular system, mounting research shows. View More (2008-08-14)
Computer model helps combat air pollution across Europe
The key role of multidisciplinary research in developing a landmark intergovernmental strategy to combat air pollution across Europe will be considered by Professor Helen ApSimon of Imperial College London in her inaugural lecture, A lot of Hot Air - Transboundary Air Pollution Over Europe.

Declining air pollution levels continue to improve life expectancy in US
A new study led by researchers at Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) has found an association between reductions in fine particulate matter and improved life expectancy in 545 counties in the U.S. from 2000 to 2007. View More (2012-12-04)
Air pollution increases infants' risk of bronchiolitis
Infants who are exposed to higher levels of air pollution are at increased risk for bronchiolitis, according to a new study. View More (2009-11-06)
National study examines health risks of coarse particle pollution
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have conducted the largest nationwide study on the acute health effects of coarse particle pollution. View More (2008-05-14)
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)
Highways Agency congratulated for environmentally friendly lighting
Lighting that shines in a controlled manner rather than skywards, has resulted in the Highways Agency being congratulated by the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee recently. The Committee praised the Agency for forward thinking, and believes the high pressure sodium lanterns are a step in the right direction to reducing light pollution. The Agency lights approximately 30% of its... View More (2003-12-01)
Cheering News for Depressed Mussels
One of Britain's rarest animals could soon be enjoying a revival in the country's waterways, thanks to researchers at the University of Cambridge. Depressed River Mussel populations have suffered a 30 per cent drop in the last 100 years through pollution and modern dredging techniques, and the species has been made a conservation priority by the Government, alongside otters and bitterns....
