British farmers are experiencing the worst bluetongue season on record, with the climate crisis blamed as the virus that originated in Africa spreads to livestock as far north as Aberdeenshire

Could #airpollution be keeping you awake at night?
My latest piece for @theguardian.com on research from 32 cities in 12 countries, led by the University of Cambridge.
Increased air pollution linked to more night-time coughing, UK-led study finds
‘Day-to-day’ symptom of harmful emissions, which in turn can disrupt sleep, can be overlooked, say researchers
Last year’s air pollution conference at the RSC was a sell-out, so we are running it again in collaboration with DEFRA’s Air Quality Expert Group, with presentations and discussion focused on the group’s work on airports, amines and carbon capture and wildfires.
Improved air quality linked to better mental development in toddlers, study finds: Long-term research in NY shows efforts to reduce air pollution associated w/higher cognitive test scores. Reporting by @drgaryfuller.bsky.social
Improvements in air pollution are leading to brighter, smarter toddlers.
A New York study adds to the growing evidence that air pollution is a fixable problem and that health improves when air pollution is reduced.

Climate solutions most likely to reach ‘positive tipping points’ revealed by scientists
“We need an Ozempic for cars. They are growing at a phenomenal rate, wreaking havoc on roads, squeezing out smaller vehicles and endangering pedestrians. Like ever-hungry teenagers, cars in Europe are growing on average a centimetre wider every year.” Don’t repeat North America’s mistake, Europe.
Point of no returns: researchers are crossing a threshold in the fight for funding www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Tackling #airpollution and #climate breakdown together, in an integrated way, could yield cost benefit of 15:1.

Commercial cooking is the largest source of fine particulate pollution in London Borough of Camden
“The ultrafine particles in these ships’ emissions were more able to drive cells to release a range of chemical communication signals associated with inflammation and reduce their ability to prevent the replication of viruses.” #Airpollution

New research from @unisouthampton.bsky.social raises concerns about downwind exposure to #airpollution from cruise ships.

“When the air cleared, fewer patients filled the cardiac wards. This regional transition serves as a microcosm of what can be achieved globally through sustained emission reductions.”
My latest for @theguardian.com on West Macedonia, Bradford, ULEZ and more.
