A report by Rosie Frost, African News, on 26th February 2025 outlined the findings of recent research into indoor air quality. It stated that we are exposed to unhealthy levels of air pollution inside our own home even when outdoor air quality is good. Researchers at the University of Birmingham in the UK measured […]
Poor air quality has been strongly linked with many health issues and illnesses including asthma, cancer and autoimmune diseases. This paper uses mixed-methods approach to investigate the pollution levels that school students is currently subjected to and the potential increase in air pollution if the introduction of quarrying activities is introduced and the related increase

Dust from quarry sites is a major source of air pollution, although the severity will depend on factors like the local microclimate conditions, the concentration of dust particles in the ambient air, the size of the dust particles and their chemistry, for example limestone quarries produce highly alkaline (and reactive) dusts, whereas coal mines produce acidic dust.

Energy cannot be produced or destroyed but can be transformed from one form into another. Higher temperatures have negative effects and the higher CO2 emissions the higher the atmosphere’s temperature. We need to bring CO2 emissions to Zero if the global atmospheric temperature is to remain unchanged. We have two choices, either stick to transport
