Particulate matter from modern gasoline engines damages our lungs
2015-06-29 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Particulate matter from gasoline engines is harmful to our airways, regardless of whether the engines are a bit older or comply with recent EU standards. Fine dust particles allow pathogens to enter the lungs easier. Researchers at the University of Bern and the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have shown this conducting a realistic laboratory experiment. According to the latest report from the World Health Organization (WHO), 7 million worldwide died early of the consequences of air pollution in 2012....

Global Fine Particulate Air Pollution on the Rise Despite Regional Improvements
2015-06-24 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Air pollution from fine particulate matter has decreased significantly in North America and western Europe over the past two decades, but increases in East and South Asia have more than made up for those improvements, as these maps based on NASA satellite data show. Fine particulate pollution (PM 2.5) is released into the atmosphere through fossil fuel combustion and the burning of forests and agricultural land, and it can easily infiltrate human respiratory and circulatory systems, contributing...

Wet Electrostatic Precipitator offers fine particulate control.
2015-06-17 14:31:05| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Incorporating discharge electrode technology, HEI (High Energy Ionizer) Wet Electrostatic Precipitator (WESP) System concentrates ionizing corona in strategic areas within collecting tubes. Resulting particle charging fields, which are optimized in terms of strength/degree and migration velocities, help minimize precipitator size. With gas capacities from 1,000–300,000 acfm, system incorporates Ultimix™ Conditioning System, RotaBed™ Pre-Scrubber, and PLC-based voltage and spark controls.
Wet Electrostatic Precipitator controls fine particulate.

Incorporating discharge electrode technology that can be sized to specific applications, HEI Wet Electrostatic Precipitator concentrates high-intensity ionizing corona in strategic areas within collecting tubes instead of distributing it along entire length of tubes' treatment area. Resultant particle charging fields are stronger than conventional precipitators and deliver higher particulate charges and migration velocities, as well as smaller size for gas capacities from 1,000–300,000 acfm.

New Research Finds Fine Particulate Air Pollution Associated With Increased Risk Of Childhood Autism
2015-05-22 06:40:07| pollutiononline Home Page
Exposure to fine particulate air pollution during pregnancy through the first two years of a child’s life may be associated with an increased risk of the child developing autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a condition that affects one in 68 children, according to aUniversity of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Healthinvestigation of children in southwestern Pennsylvania
