Duitsers protesteren voor verplicht roetfilter binnenvaart. VE2RS. China To Triple Solar Capacity To 70,000 MW By 2017, To Help Reduce Air Pollution. Air Quality Published on May 18th, 2014 | by James Ayre May 18th, 2014 by James Ayre China has thrilled the solar industry in the past few years with bigger and bigger solar installation targets.
Of course, this also came on the back of solar capacity oversupply and a solar manufacturer shakeout that put many non-Chinese solar companies out of business, but it has also helped to pull manufacturers out of a financial crisis and further drive down the cost of solar for customers and the developers and installers who benefit from growing demand. China’s latest announcement is a pretty impressive solar target of 70,000 megawatts by 2017. However, anyone who has followed the China solar story over the past few years knows that we may well see that target raised higher before too long. China’s 2017 Solar Target Raised To 70,000 Megawatts (via Solar Love) China just seems to be getting ever more ambitious with its renewable energy targets, as recent announcements have shown.

VVD wil duidelijkheid over Russische tankterminal. Shanghai to forbid coal burning as China monitors smog effects. Climate Progress On Friday, Shanghai released its Clean Air Action Plan in an effort to rapidly and substantially improve the air quality in China’s most populous city of nearly 24 million residents.
The primary focus is to reduce the concentration of PM2.5 (particulate matter of 2.5 microns or less) by around 20 percent from 2012 levels by 2017. The plan, which broadly targets six areas — energy, industry, transportation, construction, agriculture, and social life — will completely ban coal burning in 2017.

An investigation by NOAA & CIRES found that 6% to 12% of the gas produced near Ouray (by hydrofracturing) escaped to the atmosphere raising methane concentrations in air to shockingly high levels.

Personal Pollution Monitor Calculates Actual Contaminant Exposure in Real-Time. © RTIOver the years, scientists have gathered all sorts of data on air pollution, and it's a given that contaminants in the air affect our health, but the missing link has been calculating the potential dosage, or the amount which actually enters the body through the respiratory system.
But a new monitoring device is helping to close that gap. The new pollution monitor, developed by RTI International, uses personal exposure monitors coupled with acceleration sensors that determine an individual's activity levels and then predict how fast they breathe those pollutants into their body.

Now maybe he can convince Americans to see coal as a danger to public health – at least Michael Bloomberg says that is the idea behind his $50m (£31m) gift to the Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign. Maak luchtkwaliteit topprioriteit « Arno Bonte. Air pollution worse than cocaine for triggering heart attacks, says study. Air pollution is a bigger trigger of heart attacks in the population than physical exertion, alcohol and taking cocaine, a study has shown.
On an individual basis, cocaine raises the risk of a heart attack 23 times, says a study published in the Lancet. But far more people are exposed to traffic fumes and factory emissions than cocaine so air quality is a far more important population-wide threat. Scientists looked at "final straw" risk factors for triggering heart attacks, rather than underlying causes of heart disease.
The highest risk factor was traffic exposure (7.4%), followed by physical exertion (6.2%) and alcohol (5%), coffee (5%), and higher levels of small air pollutant particles known as PM10s (4.8%). Other risk factors included negative emotions, with a PAF of 3.9%, anger (3.1%), eating a heavy meal (2.7%), positive emotions (2.4%) and sexual activity (2.2%). Android Users Crowd-Source Air Pollution Analysis.
Computer scientists at the University of California's School of Engineering have launched an Android app called Visibility, which crowd-sources the task of analyzing and measuring air pollution. Using the phone's camera, Android users simply point their phone at the sky and snap a photo. The app then taps into the device's GPS and compass to determine the direction and location of the photo and compares the visibility levels in the image with established models of sky luminance.
The end result is a crowd-sourced measure of air quality. According to the scientists, Sameera Poduri, Anupam Tulsyan and Anoop Nimkar, the natural visual range in the Western United States would be 140 miles and in the Eastern U.S., 90 miles.
