Interesting study of health impacts of #blackcarbon in relatively clean urban area. Researchers found that for every 0.3μg/m of black carbon from traffic exhaust, the risk of stroke increased by 4%. Similar associations were not seen for BC emitted from residential heating.

Renewable power capacity is set to expand by 50% between 2019 & 2024, led by solar PV ☀️ Solar PV alone accounts for almost 60% of the growth, with onshore wind representing one-quarter. More → bit.ly/2pGDuDf
