Breathing Easy? Your Local Air Quality Report
Understanding Your Local Air Quality Index (AQI)
We all breathe the same air, but the quality of that air can vary dramatically depending on where you live. Understanding your local air quality is crucial for your health and well-being. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a number used by government agencies to communicate how clean or polluted the air is on a given day. It’s based on several pollutants, including ozone, particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. Each pollutant has a separate AQI value, and the overall AQI is the highest of those values.
Climate Change New Insights from JRC Science
Accelerated Sea Level Rise: A Deeper Dive
Recent research from the Joint Research Centre (JRC) has refined our understanding of sea level rise, painting a more concerning picture than previously thought. They’ve incorporated new data sources and improved modelling techniques, revealing a faster rate of increase in certain regions than previously predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This acceleration isn’t uniform globally; some coastal areas are experiencing significantly higher rates than the global average, highlighting the need for localized adaptation strategies. The JRC findings emphasize the urgency of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions to curb this escalating threat.
