The Switch To Electric Cars & Renewables Will Make Our Children Healthier
Electric cars powered by renewable energy could significantly reduce health risk to young children, says the American Lung Association.
Study Finds 98% Of Europeans At Risk From High Levels Of Fine Particulates
A study commissioned by The Guardian finds fine particulates exceed WHO recommendations in most of Europe.
Fine Particulates Are Slowly Killing Us All
Fine particulates are a product of combustion that have serious health consequences, including shorter lifespans.
Again, Electric Cars Do *Not* Emit More Particulate Matter Than Gasoline Cars
In a recent Twitter thread, Neon Research’s Auke Hoekstra, who is well known for debunking misinformation regarding electric vehicles, once again came in to save the day.
Diesel Brothers Tampered With Truck Emissions Systems, Fined $851,000
I have never heard of “The Diesel Brothers,” and it’s obvious I am not missing much. I mean, why would someone want to put diesel emissions in their pants? Or imitate the idea of farting out diesel gasses to the point where you get this stuff near your butt? I get it — fart jokes are funny. But this isn’t.
Uber Adds To Pollution & Traffic In European Cities
In terms of health, I believe pedestrian life, and more abundant, affordable electric mass transit is best. Yet, due to lack of good transit, inconvenience, work, and a litany of other issues, too many of us depend on car travel.
The Journal of Epidemiology: Linking Air Pollution Nanoparticles & Incident of Brain Tumors
Science and modern biochemistry have all kinds of answers on the brain and human health, but scientific knowledge alone can’t stop air pollution. Those studies can make citizens aware of how compromised we are. They can let us know that air pollution is indeed a threat to the brain’s and body’s core functions. But humans must act on this knowledge to make it truly useful.
Study Shows Burning Fossil Fuels Is Killing Us — Are You OK With That?
A study of 6 urban areas in the US conducted over 18 years finds pollutants from burning fossil fuels lead to higher levels of lung disease and early death. Does that mean we should do something about the problem?
Air Pollution Increases ER Visits — Largest US Study On The Topic Confirms It
We may not even see them, but tiny particles, particulates in the PM2.5 size range, are able to travel deeply into the respiratory tract. PM2.5 infiltrates the lungs, all the way to the alveoli, where oxygen is transferred into the bloodstream. Exposure to nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter, or PM, can cause grave trouble with one’s health.
