Ventilation

• The Lamaque Complex delivered record gold production both in the fourth quarter and for the year.
• During the fourth quarter, production increased 29% over the third quarter driven by increased grade and mill throughput.
• At Efemcukuru, record throughput rates in the fourth quarter, averaging 1,500 tpd along with higher gold grades delivered the full year gold production per plan.
• Fourth quarter gold production at Olympias was slightly lower compared to the third quarter.

• I’m an atmospheric scientist, and I want to get some insight into the technologies that might reduce our personal emissions in future.
• In 2018, there was an explosion in interest in air-quality sensors alongside products aimed at cleaning air in the home.
• I wondered back then whether air filtration would gain traction in Europe and whether this was environmentally sustainable or socially equitable.

An air-quality dimension to new tech

• Those miles deliver an endless stream of booths and stands offering new tech, large and small, and there is an air-quality dimension to a surprising number of them.
• The first thing to note was the conspicuous absence of air-quality sensors, which haven’t quite delivered what was promised in 2018.
• These gases are released from personal care products, aerosol sprays, fires, candles, cooking, paints, glues, wood, furniture and many others.
• Technologies that removed the need to use VOCs in the first place would seem a simpler indoor air quality fix.

Electrification means better air quality

• Electrification is everywhere at the consumer show, with the promise of phasing out fossil fuel burning from our lives.
• There is, however, growing evidence that using more autonomy could have a direct air quality benefit since it is aggressive stop-start driving that wears out tyres and suspends tiny polluting particles from the road into the air.
• I’m a technology enthusiast and came away with an optimistic view of the air pollution future.

• He is currently a Royal Society Industry Fellow collaborating with Givaudan AG on consumer product impacts on air quality.
• He is Chair of the Defra Air Quality Expert Group and Department for Transport Science Advisory Council, however this article is written in a personal capacity.
