News for air pollution

Tiny, invisible, and everywhere: ultrafine particles linked to aircraft emissions can still be detected up to 15 kilometers away from Frankfurt Airport. Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research have now published new measurement data showing how strongly air traffic influences concentrations of these particles around the airport.

Most airborne microplastics come from tire wear

We breathe it in every day without realizing it: tiny plastic particles, smaller than a human hair. Researchers from Leipzig and Oldenburg have now measured for the first time in Germany how much of it is in the city air - and where it comes from. The result is surprising. | more

Drones reveal hidden particulate matter over large cities

Ground measuring stations only show part of the air pollution. An international study with Leipzig's participation proves this: At an altitude of 100 meters, particulate matter pollution can be 60 percent higher. Drones with inexpensive sensors help to close this knowledge gap and improve predictions. | more

Warum Unternehmer selten offen sprechen – und wie ein vertrauter Kreis genau das verändert

Unternehmerinnen und Unternehmer in Sachsen stehen oft allein da, wenn es um die wirklich schwierigen Fragen geht. Entscheidungen, die niemand im Team mittragen kann. Zweifel, die man ungern im eigenen Netzwerk ausspricht. Und Momente, in denen man merkt: Austausch auf Augenhöhe ist selten – und doch entscheidend für gute Führung. | more

Poor air quality in Saxony - high particulate matter levels

The level of particulate matter in the air in Saxony was already high last week. So far, the situation has not improved - on the contrary. | more

Poor air quality in Saxony: high levels of particulate matter

Air pollution with particulate matter is increasing in Saxony. For several days now, the limit values have been exceeded at several measuring stations, in some cases significantly. There are many reasons for this. | more
