Telegraph: Another day, another report telling us that modern life is killing us. But last weeks in-depth study into air pollution, issued jointly by the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, made for alarming reading. ADVERTISING Pollution was not consigned to history with the 1956 Clean Air Act, the academics made clear. The huge increase in diesel cars are turning our streets into noxious zones.

Washington Post: Its a never-ending debate in Asia -- whose air quality is worse, Chinas or Indias? A new study by Greenpeace released Monday is trying to answer that question.

Climate Home: As Iran prepares to elect its tenth parliament since 1979s revolution on Friday, mounting concern about environmental degradation has surprised observers of the Islamic republic.

Guardian: The traffic generated by fracking in the UK would increase air pollution substantially at a local level at the busiest times, according to a study about the potential impact of lorry traffic. The research found that the number of tankers taking water to and from drilling sites would increase hourly levels of nitrogen oxide emissions (NOx) by as much as 30%. The study by a Newcastle University team, published in the journal Environment International on Wednesday, also said fracking traffic would...
