    DescriptionIrene Dedoussi, Universitair Hoofddocent Atmospheric Impacts of Aviation, is co-auteur van een artikel dat op 23 november 2023 is gepubliceerd in Science. In het artikel beschrijven onderzoekers van o.a. George Mason University in Virginia, de Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, de Universiteit van Texas in Austin en de TU Delft het verband tussen de uitstoot van kolengestookte elektriciteitscentrales in de VS, de vervuiling die dat tot gevolg heeft in de atmosfeer en de effecten op de volksgezondheid. In dit werk droeg Dedoussi bij aan de modellering die een verband legt tussen emissies en vervuilingsvorming.

    DescriptionAssociate Professor of the Atmospheric Impacts of Aviation, Irene Dedoussi, is co-author of a paper published in Science on 23 November 2023. In the paper researchers from among others George Mason University in Virginia, the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the University of Texas at Austin and TU Delft describe the link between emissions of coal fired power plants in the US, the pollution they result in in the atmosphere and the effects on public health. In this work Dedoussi supported the modelling that links emissions and pollution formation.

    DescriptionExposure to fine particulate air pollutants from coal-fired power plants (coal PM2.5) is associated with a risk of mortality more than double that of exposure to PM2.5 from other sources, according to a new study led by George Mason University, The University of Texas at Austin, and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Examining Medicare and emissions data in the U.S. from 1999 to 2020, the researchers also found that 460,000 deaths were attributable to coal PM2.5 during the study period—most of them occurring between 1999 and 2007, when coal PM2.5 levels were highest.

    The study was published on November 23, 2023, in Science.
