The sources and levels of air pollution in Europe have been mapped

This new approach towards urban air pollution mapping offers much greater spatial precision in comparison to current monitoring methods

It was developed by a German start-up in order to fight air pollution

Preliminary results suggest it has already helped reduce smog levels in Xian

A new study published by scientists at the University of Oregon and University of CIncinnati concludes that people living and working proximate to fracking actively may well be exposed to certain pollutants at higher levels than considered safe for lifetime exposure according to the EPA. These pollutants, PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), which are released as a byproduct of fracking are linked to increased risk of cancer and respiratory illness.

Scientists propose the use of real-time sensors of indoor air-quality for the battle against the Sick-Building Syndrome

After a major spike in air pollution earlier this week, Paris city mayor Anne Hidalgo asked authorities to prevent one in every two cars from taking to the capital's streets and make all public transport temporarily free until at least Monday in an effort to reduce pollution.
