🚨 New study! 10 yrs of #China's #AirQuality data shows PM2.5 reductions have slowed recently, while ozone is still rising. More ambitious AQ targets needed to avoid future increases in air pollution excess deaths

It's that time of year again... widespread elevated #particulate #airpollution across #Yorkshire and eastern England right now. Here is #Leeds Centre (data from @DefraUKAir).

The meteorological situation is favouring slack easterly flow from continental Europe. Interestingly, synoptic situation differs slightly from the classic Springtime Pollution episodes of past yrs - i.e. nearby established high pressure over Scandinavia / Baltics.

I would be willing to bet some money on this episode being dominated by particulate ammonium nitrate, as in past springtimes. Perhaps @JamesAllanAtmos and colleagues can show us some real-time #Manchester aerosol composition data?

I really enjoyed @FirstWestYorks Halloween prank of removing the non-stop aspect of the X84 service and converting it to the number 26! You caused all sorts of horror for the passengers! Really effective! Looking forward it getting back to the X84 soon though.

Oops, don’t be alarmed by some of our @bbcweather app data this morning.
Be assured there won’t be 14408mph winds, hurricane force winds or overnight temperatures of 404°C. 🤦♂️
It is being looked at and hopefully sorted asap 🤞

Agree. Utterly bonkers. What’s the score @FirstWestYorks ?

The proposed changes to the #X84 show no understanding of passenger behaviour, will make the journey less efficient for #Otley, #Ilkley & #Bramhope residents and cause more traffic. RIP #X84 ilkleygazette.co.uk/news/246… @KatieJWhite @alexsobel

Fantastic to work on this with @KJPringle and many others, it shows what a great team can produce. Thanks to @DrGaryFuller for the words.
Obviously inspired by @ed_hawkins original #climatestripes.

A new way to visualise #airpollution shows the global inequality in what we breathe but also the dramatic improvement that can come about when governments act.

The recent @EUEnvironment report on #climatechange, #health, floods, droughts & water quality also covers #wildfires and references ENBEL's work🙌

Do I know anyone with connections at Newcastle FC? Theres a little lad at Manchester Children's Hospital right now, the sweetest, most polite kid ever, stuck in that ward on the start of his journey w childhood cancer - huge Newcastle fan, favourite player by far Anthony Gordon.

Our new paper out in @CommsEarth. 👇🏻We estimate substantial local & remote health impacts due to #Arctic #wildfire sourced particulate pollution. Recent changes in magnitude and latitudes of these fires are important to consider in understanding how these impacts are changing.
13 Apr 2024
#AirPollution - Large Arctic #wildfires, increased fine particulate matter concentration and caused around 21000 excess deaths each year between 2001 and 2020, of which 8000 occurred in countries outside the Arctic Council.

Any news @Child_Leeds @LeedsParks ?
It’s so sad to see spring coming & our disabled daughter not able to use a swing, especially when one put in after park renovation. Only cost £500 so presumably not crazy to get replaced🙏

Thank you for messaging, maybe people aren’t active on social media this Easter Weekend but we can definitely find out what’s happened. @LeedsParks 👀
