https://lnkd.in/dKemZVzQ The real killer plastics. 1. Environmental impact: Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that are less than 5mm in size. These particles can easily enter aquatic ecosystems and can have a severe impact on marine life. Biocide antifoul often contains microplastics that can leach into the water and affect marine organisms. This can ultimately lead to the alteration of the ecological balance, leading to the decline in marine biodiversity. 2. Health impact: Microplastics in biocide antifoul can have a severe impact on human health. As these particles enter aquatic ecosystems, they can enter the food chain, and ultimately end up in human food. This can lead to ingestion of health-threatening substances, ultimately leading to serious health issues such as cancer and hormonal changes. Arivo.online

Safe and sustainable - discover how Intelligent Speed Assistance could reduce not just collisions but harmful emissions.

I could not have said this better myself. The whole "eco car" is a fallacy and a fad put to the public to make them feel better about the planet. What the example shown below doesn't go on to say.. is that the cost of that battery in the UK is approx. £15,000. Batteries will never last the lifetime of the car, so, what are we doing with the now poorly performing battery? Sure enough, the car likely won't be worth the cost of the battery replacement. It won't be cost effective to replace, and your insurance company will be dammed if they're going to pay out. Easiest option, scrap the car. How are we recycling those batteries and the harmful contents How are we recycling the scrapped cars whilst being 'ecological' Electric cars are NOT environmentally friendly just because they don't use petrol or diesel fuels.

Significant strides have been made in reducing exhaust emissions over the years. However, with Euro7, the focus shifts to non-exhaust sources of emissions, such as those from brake and tire wear, which are projected to become the dominant contributors to particulate matter pollution by 2030. Read our latest insight on, 'Navigating brake emissions in a Euro-7 world' to understand more about a multifaceted approach required to address brake emission challenges. #automotivetrends #brakeemissions #nonexhaustemissions

Electric Cars Emit More Particulate Pollution They have greater tire wear, the source of most particulate matter. https://lnkd.in/gXRsvK8K

Dear WSJ editorial board. You seem to worry that climate change and continually rising temperatures will increase unabated because of China and India, but offer no solutions to this long term existential threat. Instead, virtually every week you assail anything and everything that the Biden administration enacts to reduce carbon emissions over the coming years and decades. So, either you’re choosing for the U.S. to be a coward rather than a leader and pass to our children and future generations a less safe, less healthy, and less prosperous planet … or you’re choosing for the U.S. to ignore the incontrovertible science, data, and evidence of climate change and ever-growing risks and costs of droughts, wildfires, floods, and hurricanes. Which one is it? In either case, you’re pathetically wrong. Business leaders want real solutions to real problems, not more burning and polluting and whining and complaining. #wsj #climatechange #electric #cleanenergy #transportation #trucks #carbonemissions #science #leadership #economy #security #health #environment #sustainability
