- Stricter 2030 limits for several air pollutants
- Air quality indices to be comparable across all member states
- Access to justice and right to compensation for citizens
- Air pollution leads to around 300,000 premature deaths per year in the EU
The revised law aims to reduce air pollution in the EU for a clean and healthy environment for citizens, and to achieve the EU’s zero air pollution vision by 2050.
More air quality sampling points will also be set up in cities and currently-fragmented air quality indices across the EU will become comparable, clear and publicly available.
You can read more about the new rules in the press release after the deal with EU countries.
Thanks to Parliament, the updated rules improve air quality monitoring and protect vulnerable groups more effectively.

목요일, 3월 7, 2024

The company’s education campaign focuses on pervasive health risks associated with poor indoor air quality.

Key Points:

The company’s education campaign focuses on pervasive health risks associated with poor indoor air quality.
“The dangers of poor indoor air quality are not just invisible – they silently jeopardize our health, amplifying the risk of respiratory issues, allergies and long-term health complications,” said Alen CEO, Warburg Lee.
Alen air purifiers with HEPA fresh filtration capture fine particles, including ash, soot and VOCs, effectively removing them from the indoor air and reducing exposure to harmful pollutants and allergens like pollen, pet dander, and mold spores, providing symptom relief and improving overall indoor air quality.
Addressing these sources of indoor air pollution typically involves implementing strategies such as improving ventilation, using air purifiers with HEPA filters like Alen, and reducing or eliminating the use of products with harmful chemicals.

PHOENIX, Feb. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On February 14, 2023, a commercial vehicle carrying toxic nitric acid crashed, spilling the chemical into the surrounding environment and negatively impacting the health of residents near the crash site located just outside Tucson, Arizona. As the anniversary of this nationally covered environmental disaster which impacted up to 14,000 people looms, McCune Law Group (MLG) has filed a lawsuit against the trucking company which oversaw the transport of the thousands of gallons of nitric acid in question, due to evidence of alcohol consumption in the driver.

Key Points:

When the liquid nitric acid spilled from the truck after the crash, it interacted with the vehicle's fuel, outside air, and other chemicals/minerals on the ground, resulting in the release of nitrogen dioxide, nitric oxide, and red fuming nitric acid into the environment.
McCune Law Group is still accepting qualifying clients who seek to join this lawsuit.
Those who have experienced ongoing health concerns following the nitric acid spill outside Tucson are encouraged to contact McCune Law Group here.

Climate Justice Tool "Tree Equity Score" Launches in United Kingdom to Illustrate that Trees are Not Distributed Equally

Retrieved on:

화요일, 12월 5, 2023

LONDON, Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- American Forests, Woodland Trust, and The Centre for Sustainable Healthcare today unveiled the U.K. Tree Equity Score, a tool from U.S. conservation nonprofit American Forests intended to bring awareness to the inequitable tree cover across 34,000 of its urban neighborhoods — nearly 80% of the population — and the disparities such variance brings.

Key Points:

Tree Equity Score shows what it would take to increase the U.K.'s average urban tree cover to 30%, roughly doubling it.
Because trees are essential infrastructure, space and budget for trees should be incorporated into public policy including housing, transportation and health.
Retrofitting trees into hard landscapes will be essential to improving Tree Equity in dense cities world wide.
American Forests' Tree Equity Score tool has been in use in the United States for two years and is integral to its plans to advance Tree Equity in 100 cities by 2030.
