Air Pollution in Cities ‘As Bad for You As Smoking 20 Cigarettes a Day’

Air Pollution in Cities ‘As Bad for You As Smoking 20 Cigarettes a Day’

Long-term exposure to air pollution can exacerbate lung disease as much as a daily pack of cigarettes, a study has found. Researchers looked at how exposure to four main pollutants affected lung health in 7,071 adults aged 45 to 84 living in six US cities.

Value Stream Mapping Adapted to Highmix, Low-Volume Manufacturing Environments

This research work proposes a new methodology for implementing Value Stream Mapping, in processes that feature a High-Mix, Low-Volume product base. The opportunity for adapting the methodology singularly for these types of environments was identified because implementing Value Stream Mapping as proposed in Learning to See features several drawbacks when ...

Pesticide-Free Landscaping Methods and Alternatives

here are many reasons to not treat our lawn or garden with pesticides (including weed killers). A little bit of determination and changing our expectations can go a long way to reducing or eliminating outdoor pesticide use. This can include increasing our tolerance to a few bugs or weeds, or taking the time to understand why a certain bug or weed is pres ...
