Guardian: Air pollution is prematurely ageing the faces of city dwellers by accelerating wrinkles and age spots, according to emerging scientific research. The effects of toxic fumes on skin are being seen in both western cities, such as London and New York, as well as in more visibly polluted Asian cities and in some cases may be the primary cause of ageing. The pollution is also being linked to worsening skin conditions such as eczema and hives. The scientific discoveries are now driving the worlds biggest...

Grist: How poisonous are power plants? An estimated 2,300 people in the United States died prematurely because of Pennsylvanias power plants just last year, according to a study out Thursday. Across the border in Ohio, power plants claimed another 2,130 lives last year. The healthcare bill for people suffering from power plants in both states hit $40 billion. These startling numbers come from a pair of reports from NextGen Climate America and PSE Healthy Energy, which looked at two states infamous for...
Environmentalists challenge Wisconsin DNR sand mine pollution findings

Bees have trouble foraging when air pollution rises
2016-07-07 14:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mother Nature Network: Bees have a laundry list of problems going against them these days. Among them is air pollution, and a new study shows just how air pollution is affecting bees' ability to find food. By studying how changes in air chemistry affect foraging patterns of bees, researchers from Penn State illustrate that a rise in air pollution is a serious problem for pollinators. According to PhysOrg: Air pollutants interact with and break down plant-emitted scent molecules, which insect pollinators use to locate...
