6G Could Pull Double Duty to Monitor Climate Change
Over-the-air spectroscopy could be used in 6G networks to monitor climate change and air pollution.
Terahertz signal absorption can reveal the presence and concentration of certain gases in the air.
The researchers used path loss-data analysis and a power spectral density approach to identify absorption patterns and match them with an online molecular absorption database. [ more ]

UN climate talks focus climate effects on human health
The UN climate talks at COP28 are focusing on the effects of climate change on human health.
At least 7 million people die each year globally from air pollution, and the spread of diseases like cholera and malaria is increasing due to global warming. [ more ]

US coal power plants killed at least 460,000 people in past 20 years report
Coal-fired power plants have caused twice as many premature deaths as previously believed, killing at least 460,000 Americans in the past two decades.
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from coal plants is twice as deadly as PM2.5 from other sources, and previous studies underestimated the dangers of coal pollution.
Strong government regulations are necessary to reduce the health risks associated with coal pollution and implement cost-effective solutions like emissions controls and renewables. [ more ]

Sadiq Khan 'misled London public over ULEZ benefits'
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has drafted a report claiming that London Mayor Sadiq Khan misled the public about the benefits of the ultra low emission zone (Ulez)
The draft report found that Transport for London (TfL) advertisements about the Ulez were misleading because they did not clarify that claims about nitrogen dioxide levels were based on estimates or modelled scenarios, not actual figures
TfL is expected to strongly challenge the draft conclusions [ more ]

Sadiq Khan unworried by reports that TfL 'misled London public' over Ulez
London mayor Sadiq Khan is involved in a disagreement with Transport for London over wording used in an advert about air pollution levels.
The advert claimed that the existing Ulez in central London had almost halved levels of nitrogen dioxide, but the draft conclusions from the Advertising Standards Authority found it to be misleading.
Transport for London is strongly challenging the draft recommendations, stating that the advertisement is accurate and scientific analysis based on modelled scenarios and estimates is standard practice. [ more ]
