NYC congestion pricing cuts air pollution by 22% in six months In its first six months, New York City’s congestion pricing scheme has reduced air pollution by 22% in the toll zone, while improving air quality across the entire metropolitan region. https://t.co/tGe8hJLgZD

Man kennt den Ort seiner Kindheit sehr genau. Seit dem mit Holz geheizt wird, legt sich fast täglich eine Feinstaubglocke über das ganze Tal & man findet kaum einen Ort wo man frei atmen kann. Im früher schönen Feriental stinkt es nur noch - #holzofengate @BAG_OFSP_UFSP

Wind power now main source of electricity from North Sea, overtaking gas https://t.co/IFpuduIUrX

NEW | It’s been 25 years since offshore wind first dropped anchor in Britain. The industry has seen some big changes from 2000 to 2025: 2 ➡️ 2,878 turbines 1 ➡️ 47 operational offshore wind farms 0% ➡️ 17% of British electricity Let’s unpack the full success story (🧵1/5)

When accounting for cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, neurological, and mental health impacts, #AirPollution is as bad — and possibly worse — than ultra-processed food in terms of total global disease burden. #UFP #Health https://t.co/8ak9cqPxc0 https://t.co/jUS2hNV8Yl

“Cutting emissions from domestic burning requires helping people to understand the health risks, challenging the idea that modern stoves are harmless, and providing practical alternatives for those who rely on burning.” ht: @fionaharvey

Hoe groot is de gezondheids- en overlastproblematiek van houtstook?

When the neighbor chooses to burn wood: we all suffer. Toxic particulates blown into the nearby community. Als de buurman besluit hout te verbranden, lijden we er allemaal onder. Giftige deeltjes waaien de buurt in.

Verkoop van houtkachels loopt terug.😶‍🌫️🔥👌👇 Dit zegt bestuurslid van de Nederlandse Haarden en Kachelbranche: Kooij baalt, want het imago van de kachel wordt er niet beter op. „Onze verkoop loopt terug. In coronatijd hadden we zo’n 30.000 kachels per jaar, nu gaat de verkoop

.@DoctorChrisVT air pollution vs ultra processed food. Both are bad but air pollution is slightly worse in this study ⬇️

@JillBelch Now much worse using 2023 data with new emissions factors

I was experimenting with the new PurpleAir settings today and spotted something striking in #Brinscall . The annual PM2.5 #AirPollutuon level is only about 7 µg/m3… yet the particle count at 0.3 µm is one of the highest anywhere in #Chorley . That combination of low PM2.5 mass
