Telefonica to fight air pollution with mobile data
2016-06-07 09:57:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Big data analytics company Teralytics has partnered with sustainability solutions specialist South Pole Group, Telefonica Germany and the city of Nuremberg to find a smart data system for air pollution. The partners will collect data in order to identify the major air pollution hotspots using mobile data, seen as an accurate, scalable and cost effective method. Teralytics will help telecom operators like Telefonica Germany transform massive amounts of mobile signal data into useful insights about traffic and crowd mobility patterns on a real-time, nationwide scale. Customer data will remain fully protected during the process.

39 new sources manmade sulfur dioxide pollution discovered by NASA
2016-06-05 16:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
World Tech: Sulfur dioxide, or SO2, is responsible for producing acid rain and is considered a serious health threat NASA scientists have just reviewed data from the satellite Aura, collected from 2005 to 2014, and identified 39 new major sources of sulfur dioxide toxic emissions. The new study, conducted by NASA, the University of Maryland, Dalhousie University and Climate Change in Canada, found that the previously unreported pollution locations are concentrated around power plants and coal plants in Mexico,...

Confirmed! Air Pollution Linked to High Blood Pressure
2016-06-04 23:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Here's another reason to cut down on carbon emissions. A study published in the journal Hypertension reported that air pollution is tied to high blood pressure, a major risk factor for coronary heart disease which kills over 370,000 people annually. High cholesterol and smoking were previously proven as risk factors, and while pollution has been hypothesized as a risk factor since 1900s, it is only recently that it has been proven through a meta-analysis. By analyzing groups of study on...
