Recession no bar to fossil fuel emissions
Posted on November 29, 2009 - Filed Under Air Pollution, Curbing Pollution, Environmental Pollution, General, Global Warming, Land Pollution, Ocean Pollution, Pollution News, Water Pollution
An early study of last year’s carbon dioxide emissions suggests the recession did little to slow greenhouse gases from fossil fuels.Former Niwa scientist Dave Lowe, now a climate change educator, and two Norwegian co-authors wanted…

New research presents strong evidence that the “synergistic” effect of early-life exposure to both outdoor traffic-related pollution and indoor endotoxin causes more harm to developing lungs than one or the other exposure alone.

Posted on November 25, 2009 - Filed Under Air Pollution, Curbing Pollution, Environmental Pollution, General, Global Warming, Land Pollution, Ocean Pollution, Pollution News, Water Pollution
Exposure shortly after birth to ambient metals from residential heating oil combustion and particles from diesel emissions are associated with respiratory symptoms in young inner city children, according to a new study. The study is the first to analyze the effects of exposure to airborne metals in this very young population and the findings could have important public health implications.
