Samantha Lawrence has conducted a research, which projected the necessity to establish a law with reference to non-exhaust emissions from tires, brakes and road surface wear. This 27 year old doctor completed her thesis titled: Tunnel Measurements and Source Apportionment Modelling to Quantify Atmospheric Particle Emissions from Non-Exhaust Sources, under the guidance of Dr. Ravindra Khaiwal, Dr. Hongjun Mao and Professor Ranjeet Sokhi at the Center of Atmospheric and Instrumentation Research.
The Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) and Pollution Probe have launched a primer on Automobile Fuel Efficiency and Emissions. Being the first of its kind, this primer focuses on reducing environmental footprint and enables drivers to save fuel by providing them with a list of fuel reduction measures. Technological and driving factors are also imparted to the drivers to educate them on fuel efficiency.
Peatlands or wetlands in tropical regions remove large amount of organic carbon. But, now-a-days, human activities have an impact on these wetlands. Large-scale fires, triggered by drainage projects in combination with repeated droughts, can release large amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which ultimately leads to global warming. Prof. Florian Siegert and his research group at GeoBio-Center, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat (LMU) have estimated the volume of peat burned in fires with accuracy, with the help of laser-based measurements.
Research carried out at the University of Hertfordshire by a PhD student calls for the introduction of legislation related to non-exhaust emissions (from road surface wear, brakes or tyres), after sampling atmospheric particles within the Hatfield Tunnel.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) received appreciation for its preliminary draft regulation (PDR) by the Environmental Defense Fund. The preliminary draft regulation helps in designing a cap-and-trade program, as simultaneous measures, to reduce pollution caused by global warming, and the measures are formulated by the Environmental Defense Fund. The Global Warming Solutions Act expects to reduce pollution caused by global warming to 15 percent by the year 2020.
An osmotic prototype plant, which is considered as the first of its kind in the world, is developed by Statkrat, a Norwegian company, in collaboration with R&D organizations from many other countries.
An announcement regarding a grant of $1.2 million to firms involved in preserving and protecting the coastal zones of Pennsylvania across the Delaware Estuary and Lake Erie was made on 23 November by Governor Edward G. R...
The publication titled, ‘Alternative fuels with heavy-duty engines and vehicles’ by Timo Murtonen and Päivi Aakko-Saksa is a report, which documents the combination of results from three projects conducted by the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. The results discuss the data collected on emissions and the performance of heavy-duty engines and vehicles, which use hydrotreated vegetable oil, GTL diesel, CNG, ester-type biodiesel, and fossil diesel fuel.
A request from CMS Land was submitted in the form of an application to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System on 19 November 2009, seeking permission to treat and release stagnated water at the Resort Township’s East Park. This move is a part of the Little Traverse Bay Environmental Project.
In a rather confrontational study, a scientist from the University of Utah has argued that risks from the increasing levels of carbon dioxide emissions cannot be mitigated unless the equivalent of building a new nuclear power plant daily is accomplished.
