"President Donald Trump has promised throughout his presidency to revive American manufacturing by slapping punishing tariffs on foreign competition. But a new study from the US Federal Reserve suggests that his efforts have backfired — and that the manufacturing sector is worse off than it was before the president began his protectionist trade policy. Economists Aaron Flaaen and Justin Pierce, who describe their study as “as the first comprehensive estimates of the effect of recent tariffs on the US manufacturing sector,” argue that the data shows that any benefits from protection from foreign competition have been more than canceled out by retaliatory tariffs from trading partners and an increase in the cost of components sourced from abroad. As a result, US manufacturing has seen job losses and higher prices for consumers. The new Federal Reserve study compared how manufacturing industries benefited from tariffs (border taxes on imports) to how much of a hit they...
Philly Has an Air Pollution Problem. These Researchers Think Its Neighborhoods May Hold a Solution presented by: VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES PRINT Philadelphia ranks as one of the nation’s 25 worst metro areas for ozone and year-round particle pollution, according to the American Lung Association , but it’s not exactly easy to stop those health hazards from accumulating in our city. “These two pollutants are what is also known as secondary pollutants,” says Kabindra Shakya, PhD, an assistant professor of geography and the environment at Villanova University. “They’re not directly emitted from emissions sources such as tailpipes but formed in the atmosphere. They have multiple formation pathways, and particles also have primary sources..” The city’s individual neighborhoods, however, can vary widely when it comes to air quality. Their different make-ups may shine a light on how to mitigate the problem, according to...

Clear the Air The Centre for Air Pollution Studies (CAPS) at CSTEP is hosting its first flagship event—the India Clean Air Summit 2019 (#ICAS19)—at The Chancery Pavilion, Bengaluru. The two-day event, on 22-23 August, is being organised in collaboration with the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board and the Department of Forest, Ecology and Environment, Government of Karnataka. ICAS aims to collate and share knowledge from various sectors and explore opportunities for collaboration by bringing together national and regional experts in the domain. The conference will address issues such as inadequate evidence for policy interventions, methods for data analysis, air pollution impact on human health, and challenges to policy solutions in India.

Davida Herzl, Aclima hello@aclima.io via metone.com Jun 5, 2019, 12:46 PM (2 days ago) to joann Dear Friends, This year’s theme for World Environment Day is #BeatAirPollution, an urgent call to action to improve global air quality for both people and the planet. This year alone, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere exceeded 415 ppm for the first time in human history, and new research has found evidence that pollution and climate-changing emissions affect every part of the body at every stage of life. It is clear that air pollution is as personal as it is hyperlocal. That is why we’re deeply committed to rapidly scaling the pollution-mapping technology society needs to accelerate action. This Spring, Aclima partnered with San Diego County to map hyperlocal air quality in environmental justice communities to support monitoring and emissions-reduction efforts outli...
