[David Bryant] clearly has an awareness of the impact of an excess concentration of CO2 in the local environment and has designed an SAO board to add a CO2 traffic …read more Continue reading A CO2 Traffic Light On An SAO
In the past, building construction methods generally didn’t worry much about air quality. There were enough gaps around windows, doors, siding, and flooring that a house could naturally “breathe” and …read more Continue reading Pac-Man Ghost Helps With Air Quality Sensing
Air pollution in urban environments has long been associated with poor health. Breast cancer, immune dysfunction, osteoporosis, heart problems and dementia have all been linked to air pollution, however, understanding exactly how poor air quality is explicitly causing disease has been a challenge for researchers.

Inching forward bumper to bumper on a highway when you’re on the way to an appointment, or worse, the airport, is enough to spike anyone’s blood pressure (BP). But researchers have found that a BP surge occurs independent of external stressors, and it … Continue reading Sitting in traffic triggers a blood pressure surge that lasts 24 hours
New research has linked long-term exposure to fine particle air pollution, whether at home or work, to an increased risk of breast cancer. The findings add to the mounting evidence about the dangers of air pollution and highlight the need to reduce it….

While it’s important to track and quantify airborne pollutants, most gas sensors are located at ground level, not up where the pollutants spread. A new lab-on-a-drone system is designed to address that limitation, by taking the tech to the sky.Continue… Continue reading Drone-mounted tech delivers real-time air pollution reports
While there may be a lot to worry about when it comes to climate change, a new study has found that we’re doing something right when it comes to air pollution. An analysis of global data has found that exposure to fine particulate matter, a leading env… Continue reading Global mitigation strategies, led by China, reverse air pollution trends
It’s well established that any air pollution is likely to be bad for your health, with it claiming some 6.5 million lives around the world each year. But one type of emission is being increasingly linked to age-related dementia, and it’s also surging due to wildfires.
