by Adam Kovac, August 24, 2023
"NASA’s new space-based air pollution monitoring system has sent back its first maps, showing #CarTraffic brings down air quality in several #MajorCities.
"The six maps were made from data from the Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (#TEMPO), which launched in April. In scans taken over a six-hour period on August 2, high concentrations of #NitrogenDioxide, a toxic #pollutant tied to car and #smokestack emissions, can be seen hovering over #NewYork, #LosAngeles, #LasVegas and #WashingtonDC.
"While the location of #AirPollution shown in the maps isn’t surprising, the data is only the tip of the iceberg for TEMPO, the first space-based instrument designed to continuously monitor air quality over #NorthAmerica. TEMPO principal investigator Kelly Chance said there are currently 50 scientific studies under way that will make use of data generated by the program. The program will truly get underway in October when the instrument will begin transmitting hourly daytime scans."

The lifetime #cancer risk from the inhalation of #smokestack air is one in four. https://grist.org/climate-energy/this-climate-friendly-fuel-comes-with-an-astronomical-cancer-risk/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Welcome to The Brave New World of Work!
Where #24x7 #work is the #newnormal, done #anywhere, #anytime, and #anyhow.
where I dissect what the end of the #industrial (#smokestack) and the #dawn of the #digitalage (#fourthindustrialrevolution) means for us.
