SHAREWORTHY: Scientists Develop New Method to Assess Ozone Layer Recovery
Published in the journal Nature, their method - the Integrated Ozone Depletion (IOD) metric - provides a useful tool for policymakers and scientists. The IOD has been designed to provide a straightforward way to measure the effects of unregulated emissions of substances that deplete the ozone layer, and evaluate how effective ozone layer protection measures continue reading : SHAREWORTHY: Scientists Develop New Method to Assess Ozone Layer Recovery
SHAREWORTHY: School Playgrounds Protects Children From Air Pollution
Scientists have published new evidence showing that selective planting of vegetation between roads and playgrounds can substantially cut toxic traffic-derived air pollution reaching school children. The new findings, published this week in the journal Scientific Reports, demonstrate that roadside vegetation can be designed, installed and maintained to achieve rapid, significant and cost-effective improvement of air continue reading : SHAREWORTHY: School Playgrounds Protects Children From Air Pollution
SHAREWORTHY: Polluted air can generate power
Researchers from the University of Antwerp and KU Leuven have succeeded in developing a process that purifies air and, at the same time, generates power. The device must only be exposed to light in order to function. We use a small device with two rooms separated by a membrane,” explains Professor Sammy Verbruggen (UAntwerp/KU Leuven). “Air continue reading : SHAREWORTHY: Polluted air can generate power
