Plants Blamed for Human Deaths in Heat Waves

National Geographic: While much of the world has baked in a heat wave this month, new research points to a surprising culprit when it comes to killing us-plants. A study published this week in the peer-reviewed journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics found that during heat waves, plants tend to absorb less pollution from the air. That puts more people at risk of developing respiratory complications, which can lead to death. elated: "How 100 Degrees Does a Number on You.") The research was conducted in the United...

Over two million deaths annually from air pollution, experts estimate
2013-07-12 16:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: More than two million deaths occur worldwide each year as a direct result of human-caused outdoor air pollution, a new study has found. In addition, while it has been suggested that a changing climate can exacerbate the effects of air pollution and increase death rates, the study shows that this has a minimal effect and only accounts for a small proportion of current deaths related to air pollution. The study, which has been published today, 12 July, in IOP Publishing's journal Environmental...

Air pollution causes over 2 million deaths per year: study
2013-07-12 10:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
United Press International: Air pollution contributes to more than 2 million premature deaths globally each year, according to new research published Friday in the journal Environmental Research Letters. That number is much smaller than some previous estimates, which put the number around 3 million. Scientists used mathematical models to estimate the effects of fine particulate matter, such as soot, and ozone, the main component of smog. West and his colleagues concluded that about 470,000 people die each year from...
2 million deaths yearly worldwide linked with air pollution
2013-07-12 07:55:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Air pollution may be responsible for more than 2 million deaths around the world each year, according to a new study. The study estimated that 2.1 million deaths each year are linked with fine particulate matter, tiny particles that can get deep into the lungs and cause health problems. Exposure to particle pollution has been linked with early death from heart and lung diseases, including lung cancer, the researchers said; meanwhile, concentrations of particulate matter have been increasing...
