Time to get serious about dust?
More nuisance than health risk, in traditional thinking, but no longer. Dust has been driven up the safety agenda in recent years, not just in construction. Envirotec reviews recent thinking on the topic .
Bespoke dust win
A large UK manufacturer was required to monitor airborne particulates in and around its paint shop, and to automatically raise visual and audible alarms when potentially dangerous conditions arise

Exposure to toxic air pollutants is linked to increased cardiovascular and respiratory death rates, according to a new, international study
Destined to be a new piece of furniture?
A new air purifier is seemingly designed - somewhat uniquely - to catch airborne dust before it settles on floors and surfaces. Announced in February by Swedish firm Blueair, the DustMagnet™ also seems unusual in its departure from anything machine-like in appearance having been designed to look like a piece of furniture.

Aerosol appraisal
What is purported to be the first global map of cargo ship pollution has revealed interesting effects including the apparent impact of fuel regulations. The "ship tracks" in clouds, which the study measured, also appear to be helpful in explaining how particulate matter both interacts with clouds and affects global temperatures.
