Biomass power station produced four times emissions of UK coal plant, says report.

Just #axedrax

Ban this senseless and pointless biomass cycle.

It has been very dry in #Argentina in the last few years increasing the aridity in the region and stressing agricultural fields.

Increased #Dust and #fire activity are a consequence of this continuous drought as shown in this animation of 20 days of satellite obs over lake Mar Chiquita the most active and voluminous source in the area.

Note the activity occurs with wind from practically any direction and both dust and smoke emission can occur simultaneously.

In addition to large scale #smokeclouds in North America, there is quite of #biomassburning in central Russia with its associated large smoke clouds.

Today such cloud covered 2.5M sqkm and it was more than 4000km long .

Fires in S. America generate thick smoke & it is trapped against the Andes mountains.

If it was August-Sep, winds would displace smoke southbound creating the so-called river of smoke. However, forecast indicates that smoke will not move much & should keep piling up against mountains.

Hello everyone! I am an environmental engineer at the University of Michigan. I study air quality (outdoor and indoor) and especially aerosol particles and deposited films (indoor grime).

I’m looking forward to updates on papers and talks as well as general conversations about #aerosols #airquaility #biomassburning #wildfires

I will also occasionally share photos of Lulu (#cat)

Our recent study on #BlackCarbon light absorption over central Amazonia was published today on ACP  

The significant increase of black and brown carbon during El Niño 2015/6 shows how the atmosphere can be affected if warmer and drier conditions are more prevalent in the future.
