    www.spireresearch.com Air Pollution China’s public health danger © 2007 Spire Research and Consulting Pte Ltd Air Pollution – China’s public health danger The rapid pace of economic growth in the Asia Pacific region has been accompanied by resource depletion and environmental degradation. Air is the first element to get tainted by industrialization, with air quality becoming an increasingly important public health issue. China in particular has grappled with air pollution and frequent bouts of “haze” in recent years. Chinese smog has been recorded not only in Hong Kong but as far afield as America and Europe. Spire takes a look at how this impacts government, business and society. Air raid The Great Smog of London in December 1952 caused over 4,000 deaths, a result of rapid industrialization and urbanization. Dr Robert Waller, who worked at St Bartholomew's Hospital in the early 1950s, believed that a shortage of coffins and high sales of flowers were the first indications that many people were being killed. "The number of deaths per day during and just after that smog was three to four times the normal level," he said. Figure 1: Death rate with concentrations of The smog, which lasted for five days, smoke was so bad that it infiltrated hospital wards. The death toll was not disputed by the authorities, but exactly how many people perished as a direct result of the fog is unknown. Many who died already suffered from chronic respiratory or cardiovascular complaints. Without the fog, though, they might not have died so early. Mortality from bronchitis and pneumonia increased more than seven-fold as a result of the fog (see Figure 1).

  • Visibility Prediction Over South Korea Based on Random Forest
    atmosphere Article Visibility Prediction over South Korea Based on Random Forest Bu-Yo Kim * , Joo Wan Cha, Ki-Ho Chang and Chulkyu Lee Convergence Meteorological Research Department, National Institute of Meteorological Sciences, Seogwipo, Jeju 63569, Korea; [email protected] (J.W.C.); [email protected] (K.-H.C.); [email protected] (C.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-64-780-6695 Abstract: In this study, the visibility of South Korea was predicted (VISRF) using a random forest (RF) model based on ground observation data from the Automated Synoptic Observing System (ASOS) and air pollutant data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) model. Visibility was predicted and evaluated using a training set for the period 2017–2018 and a test set for 2019. VISRF results were compared and analyzed using visibility data from the ASOS (VISASOS) and the Unified Model (UM) Local Data Assimilation and Prediction System (LDAPS) (VISLDAPS) operated by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). Bias, root mean square error (RMSE), and correlation coefficients (R) for the VISASOS and VISLDAPS datasets were 3.67 km, 6.12 km, and 0.36, respectively, compared to 0.14 km, 2.84 km, and 0.81, respectively, for the VISASOS and VISRF datasets. Based on these comparisons, the applied RF model offers significantly better predictive performance and more accurate visibility data (VISRF) than the currently available VISLDAPS outputs. This modeling approach can be implemented by authorities to accurately estimate visibility and thereby reduce accidents, risks to public health, and economic losses, as well as inform on urban development policies and environmental regulations.

  • 1 Fighting Smog in Los Angeles the Air Pollution Was So Thick You Could
    Fighting Smog in Los Angeles The air pollution was so thick you could cut it with a knife. I remember looking at the outside window and saying, “Oh my, there’s the smog.” Here we are. You should be able to see the mountains, you should be able to see our beautiful city, but you can’t see anything. And it’s destroying not only our health. But our economy. From 50 to 70 percent of the junk that’s in the air comes from our own cars. Mine and yours. Alexis: Hi, I’m Alexis Pedrick. Lisa: And I’m Lisa Berry Drago, and this is Distillations, coming to you from the Science History Institute. Alexis: Each episode of Distillations takes a deep dive into a moment of science-related history in order to shed some light on the present. Today we’re talking about smog in Los Angeles, in the final installment of a three-part series about environmental success stories. Lisa: Our last two episodes, “Whatever Happened to the Ozone Hole?” and “Whatever Happened to Acid Rain?” are available on our website: Distillations DOT ORG, through Apple Podcasts, or wherever else you get your podcasts! Alexis: If you live in Los Angeles, or even if you’ve just visited, you know all about smog. But what you might not know is that half a century ago smog in Los Angeles was already completely unbearable even though they had far fewer cars. As of June 2018, the United States has one of the strictest car emission standards in the world.

  • Politically Connected Polluters Under Smog
    Bus. Polit. 2015; 17(1): 97–123 Yuhua Wang* Politically connected polluters under smog Abstract: I conduct an event study of an exogenous pollution shock-smog in the winter of 2013 to examine how the market values of firms in polluting industries and environmental protecting industries, respectively, responded in “the world’s worst polluter”: China. I first show that politically connected polluters, defined by having at least one board member who was a former local bureaucrat, are more likely to be state owned and in debt. During the 21 days of the smog, pollut- ers experienced a cumulative abnormal return of –5.38%, while protectors had a cumulative abnormal return of 3.50%. However, politically connected polluters were less susceptible to the shock: they experienced a 1% greater positive abnor- mal return than unconnected polluters. Connected protectors also benefited from a greater 1% abnormal return than unconnected protectors. The findings imply that environmental disasters have distributional effects, and support a theory that links rent-seeking behavior to pollution. DOI 10.1515/bap-2014-0033 Previously published online January 23, 2015 1 Introduction Pollution is one of the most pressing issues that human beings face today. Accord- ing to the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution is now the single-larg- est environmental health risk, contributing to 7 million deaths in 2012.1 India had 620,000 premature deaths in 2010 caused by outdoor air pollution, which was deemed the sixth most common killer in South Asia.2 Air pollution is esti- mated to shorten the lives of people in northern China by an average of 5.5 years compared to their southern counterparts, which will cause 500 million people to 1 CNN, 25 March 2014, “WHO: Air Pollution Caused One in Eight Deaths.” 2 Lim et al.

Running Head: Asthma and Early Life Exposure to the Great Smog Descriptor: 1.17 Epidemiology (Pediatric): Risk Factors Word Count: Body of manuscript: 3,480 words; Abstract: 248 words At a Glance Commentary: While the episodic triggers of asthma are widely known, the root causes of the condition itself are poorly understood. Evidence on the long-term impacts of exposure to air pollution is also limited. The 1952 London Smog provides a natural experiment for studying the underlying cause of asthma and the long-term effects of air pollution exposure very early in life, while limiting threats from statistical confounding. We find that children exposed to the intense air pollution within the first year of life were more likely to develop asthma during both childhood and adulthood.

She was 12 years old then. Within three years, she had set the girls’ national indoor record in the event, a distinction she would claim four times before leaving high school. Speed, strength and body awareness came together in vaulting, a mesh of talents that Lederman found irresistible. Her background in gymnastics was key. First came the full- tilt sprint down the runway and the planting of the tip in the ground. Then, at the top of the fully bending pole, she would find herself upside down in the instant when she prepared to fling herself over the all-too-easily toppled bar. This was a moment when body awareness was critical—no time to be wondering where your elbow or your kneecap were. Lederman had the touch. As an undergraduate at Yale, she set just about every record possible, including both the indoor and outdoor women’s pole vault records. Sixteen times she was named All-Ivy and six times All-East in the event, and served as captain of the Yale women’s track-and-field squad, galvanizing others on the team.

  • William Siemens Was a Member of the Founding Generation of the Siemens Company
    Sir William Siemens LIFELINES William Siemens was a member of the founding generation of the Siemens company. Born in Germany in , he emigrated to England, where he headed the Siemens offi ce in London, and also worked as an independent engineer and entrepreneur. His work embraced fi elds as diverse as the global telegraph system and innovations in metallurgy; his name is associated with the Siemens-Martin process, which remained the world’s most important steel production process for a century. William Siemens’ achievements earned him esteem as a member of the British scientifi c community, and a great many honors and accolades. The brochure is the eighth volume in the LIFELINES series, which presents portraits of individuals who have shaped the history and development of Siemens in a wide variety of ways. This includes entrepreneurs who have led the company and members of the Managing Board as well as engineers, inventors, and creative thinkers. Sir William Siemens 2 Sir William Siemens April , – November , LIFELINES Gibt es das Bild als Scan? Ist aus Buch fotografiert, dabei verzerrt und unscharf! Sir William Siemens, ca. 1860 Introduction – An engineer with plans of his own Siemens & Halske was founded in the mid-19th century, the era of Germany’s early industrialization. This was a time when German industry endeavored to get industrialization underway at home and catch up to the British model. This was most successful in technologies that were new at the time, like electrical telegraphy. In any event, the innovations in telegraphy produced by the com- pany that Werner von Siemens founded in 1847 were without doubt on the same level as those of the British.
