RTCC: Fracking wells may release cancer-causing chemicals into the air, a community science study has found. Residents trained to take air quality samples recorded high levels of benzene, hydrogen sulphide and formaldehyde near shale gas extraction sites in the US. While based on a small number of samples, the study published in Environmental Health adds a new set of potential health threats to frackings rap sheet. Lead researcher David Carpenter, from the University at Albany, New York, said...

Air Pollution Compounds Effects of Climate Change
2014-10-13 18:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Truthdig: Two separate studies have confirmed the extent of human influence on climate change-and, for once, carbon dioxide is not the usual suspect. One team has just found that air pollution dimmed the skies of northern Europe, reflected sunlight back into space, reduced evaporation, and increased river flow. The second group reports that similar aerosol pollution had a quite different effect on the Asian monsoons: in the second half of the 20th century, the darkening skies reduced temperatures and...

Air Pollution is Driving Fewer Monsoons?
2014-10-06 22:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: A new study has found that pollutant emissions produced by human activity has been causing the world's total annual monsoon rainfall to decline over the past five decades. And while that may be good news for some flood-prone regions, experts do not doubt that it has had a significant adverse impact on delicate ecologies. That's all according to a study recently published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. "This study shows for the first time that the drying of the monsoon over the...

ScienceDaily: The paper shows how such pollution can have an impact on the natural environment and highlights the importance of considering such factors in assessments of future climate change. Credit: Fyle / Fotolia [Click to enlarge image] A study published in Nature Geoscience shows that air pollution has had a significant impact on the amount of water flowing through many rivers in the northern hemisphere. The paper shows how such pollution, known as aerosols, can have an impact on the natural environment...
