Trump EPA appointees want more air pollution — that’s a very bad idea

Climate change garners most of the headlines, but the Trump administration is pushing a much larger and broader pro-pollution agenda whose latest manifestation is a push at the EPA to overturn a long-established scientific consensus that fine particulate pollution (colloquially “soot”) kills people.

This is critically important for two main reasons.

One is that for decades the EPA has been regulating various sources of particulate emissions and the science around how harmful they are plays a role in driving how strict those regulations become. The other is that particulate emissions play a key role in the bureaucratic politics of climate change.

Because carbon dioxide emissions are global and the consequences of climate change are also global, it is generally hard to demonstrate that cutting a given source of greenhouse gas emissions will have large benefits to Americans. But most regulations that reduce carbon emissions also reduce much more localized soot — and taking into account the fact that soot has a marked tendency to kill people who live nearby the emissions sources is important to making the cost-benefit analysis math work.

Contaminated underground water leads to rise in many diseases

Citizens dwelling in the areas, where use of contaminated underground water is prominent to meet the demand of their basic needs, are on the verge of getting more prone to water pollution related disorders as experts raise the alarm the regarding the city's underground resource- contaminated by lethal toxin such as arsenic, nitrates and fluorides in some parts of Delhi. Experts pointed that how much the city is overdrawing its groundwater. The over-exploitation was to the extent of 27 percent -that is, for every 100 litres that gets replenished, Delhiites draw out approx 127 litres. It's based on analysis of groundwater use between 2011 and 2013, the latest year for which data is Available.

The arsenic contamination is not widespread, but it may point to unacceptable ground pollution in the city, expert informed. "Arsenic contamination has been found in some parts of the Yamuna flood plains but it's still a rare occurrence. Though arsenic pollution is considered geogenic (naturally occurring) in other parts of India, some papers have attributed arsenic contamination to fly ash from thermal power plants in Delhi.

All-Italian launch from French Guiana lofts innovative environmental satellite

 A Vega rocket fired into orbit Thursday night from French Guiana with Italy’s PRISMA hyperspectral Earth-imaging satellite, commencing a busy period for the Vega launcher program as engineers prepare for the debut of the more powerful Vega-C booster in early 2020 and study a lighter variant to better compete in the growing smallsat launch market.

The 98-foot-tall (30-meter) rocket fired its solid-fueled first stage at 10:50:35 p.m. French Guiana time Thursday (9:50:35 p.m. EDT; 0150:35 Friday), instantly sending the launcher into the late-night sky over the Guiana Space Center, a tropical space base on the northeastern coast of South America.

The Vega’s first stage nozzle swiveled to align the rocket with a trajectory north from French Guiana, propelling the launcher faster than the speed of sound within 30 seconds as the booster ramped up to full power with nearly 700,000 pounds of thrust. The first stage consumed its pre-packed solid propellant in less than two minutes, and high-power tracking cameras showed the booster dropping away as the Vega’s second stage ignited to continue the flight into space.

You pollute, we clean, you pay: New laws mulled to tackle environmental pollution

The government is exploring the possibility of introducing a law to compel those who pollute to pay for the cleanup operations and other damage that they cause. Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change Minister Yeo Bee Yin said the law would be part of the proposed amendment to the Environmental Quality Act 1974.

Instead of focusing only on individuals who had committed the crime, the new law would also look into punishing companies that failed to monitor their scheduled waste disposal. “Polluters must pay for the mess, but what if the culprits are lorry drivers?”

How do we force them to pay millions in damages? They would be declared bankrupt and the government would still have to pay for the mess. What we want to do in the new law is make the companies who don’t monitor their waste pay for it; A press conference after attending the Malaysian Industrial Development Finance Research Bhd Green Conference.

Exposure to Environmental Pollution Reduces Survival Rates of ALS Patients, Study Reports

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients with higher levels of organic pollutants in their blood have reduced survival rates, according to a study conducted in Michigan. The study, “High plasma concentrations of organic pollutants negatively impact survival in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,” was published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry.

A combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental risk factors may contribute to ALS. The team at the University of Michigan (U-M) ALS Center of Excellence had already shown that ALS patients have higher blood concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) — chemicals that remain for a long time in the environment and can spread via food or air — compared with healthy controls.

Senators Make Sure Wheeler Knows They Oppose Changes to Mercury Rule

A handful of US Senators have sent a letter to EPA administrator Andrew Wheeler saying they strongly oppose a December, 2018, proposal that could “lead to the undoing of the Mercury Rule.” The proposal finds that it is no longer “appropriate and necessary” to regulate mercury and air toxic emissions from coal and oil fired power plants. While the senators support the EPA’s decision to keep the 2012 Mercury Rule in place, they believe the proposal could lead to the weakening or even undoing of the rule.

NRDC Celebrates 30 Years of Environmental Victories in Southern California

This month, NRDC’s Los Angeles office celebrates 30 years of protecting Southern California’s natural habitats, communities, and resources. California has been at the vanguard of environmental policy for decades, passing first-of-its-kind policies that have served as models across the nation and the globe. For the past three decades, the Los Angeles office has been at the forefront of those efforts and become a laboratory for change.

In 1989, NRDC set its sights on changing the troubled environmental landscape that characterized Southern California, by becoming the first national environmental organization to plant its roots in the region. “Los Angeles has long suffered from air pollution, water contamination, and land use decisions that reflect environmental discrimination

Protecting the environment in Mozambique’s emerging oil and gas sector

Mozambique is expected to become the world’s third largest natural gas exporter by 2023, bringing a projected $39 billion to the Mozambican economy over the next 20 years and creating over 700,000 jobs by 2035.

Finding substantial reserves of oil and natural gas can offer significant opportunities for the social, economic and political development of any country. However, without adequate environmental management, oil and gas operations can have lasting social and environmental impacts such as oil pollution and public health risks.

Climate study warns of vanishing safety window—here’s why

A new scientific analysis of millions of possible climate futures found only a narrow window to keeping global warming to levels the international community has deemed safe.

Out of 5.2 million possible climate futures, carbon emissions must reach zero by 2030 in every country in the world if we are to stay at less than 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) by 2100 of warming, the target set by the United Nations to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, from rising seas to deadly heat waves. And unlike last fall’s “Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C” from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—which held out the possibility of a 2.7 degree Fahrenheit (1.5 degree Celsius) climate future—the new paper published March 11 in the journal Nature Climate Change

Pollution causes 1 in 4 deaths

A quarter of all premature deaths and diseases worldwide are due to environmental pollution and climate change. A greater portion of the deaths occurred in developing countries or in populations in “vulnerable situations”.

“Our planet is becoming increasingly unhealthy, and this is having a direct impact on human life. More than 12.6 million people died from environmental causes in 2012. That represents nearly one quarter of all deaths worldwide that year.

The seas are saving us from runaway global warming, but for how long?

For decades, the Earth's oceans have absorbed vast quantities of carbon dioxide that would have remained in the atmosphere. This has prevented the full impact of global warming from taking effect, a new study says.

Carbon dioxide, emitted when fossil fuels are burned, is the greenhouse gas scientists say is most responsible for global warming. The gas is at its highest level in our atmosphere in thousands, perhaps millions, of years.

Fortunately, researchers say the oceans have absorbed about 31 percent of the carbon that humans are emitting into the atmosphere. That's a whopping 2.6 billion tons per year. "It’s a huge service the oceans are doing that significantly reduces global temperature

Fashion’s tiny hidden secret

Fashion today is about obsession with outward image and appearance. Rarely do we as consumers consider what’s on the inside: the hundreds of thousands of fibres that make up our clothing which have led to an estimated 1.4 million trillion plastic fibres in the ocean.

The fashion industry itself has a huge impact on the environment. It is responsible for 20 per cent of global wastewater, 10 per cent of carbon emissions and huge amounts of waste. Every second, one garbage truck full of textiles is landfilled or incinerated. If that wasn't enough, our clothing is also polluting the ocean with plastic.

U.N.: Environmental threats are jeopardizing human health

Mother Earth got a bad health report from the United Nations this week, and the scientific team that conducted the exam didn’t shirk from delivering the bad news. The word “dire” comes to mind.

The assessment is contained in the sixth Global Environmental Outlook, a 708-page compendium of the planet’s ailments that was released at a U.N. environmental conference here this week. The Earth’s condition has continued to deteriorate since the first global outlook was prepared in 1997 and “urgent action at an unprecedented scale necessary to arrest and reverse this situation,” the team warned.

Is burning plastic waste a good idea?

Burning plastic trash to create energy sounds sensible: Plastic is, after all, made from hydrocarbons, just like oil, and is more energy-dense than coal. But several obstacles loom to a big expansion of waste-burning.

For one thing, siting waste-to-energy plants, like siting landfills, is difficult: No one wants to live near a plant that may host hundreds of trash-filled trucks a day. Usually the plants end up near low-income communities.

Honey from city bees can be used to trace environmental pollutants

Researchers from University Of British Columbia (UBC) have discovered that honey samples can be used to measure environmental pollution. When bees hunt for pollen and nectar near their hives, they pick up trace amounts of elements such as lead. As a result, these elements can be detected in the honey produced by the bees.
