Circa 200 persone (scienziati ed esperti nucleari) di una quarantina di Paesi hanno partecipato alla Pugwash Conference on Science and World Affairs che trae il nome dal villaggio in cui si tenne la prima riunione nel 1957, in seguito all'appello-manifesto di due anni prima lanciato da personalità eminenti come Albert Einstein e Bertrand Russell.

The European Parliament's vote (and subsequently the Council of Europe's) on the new European Directive on air quality is expected for September 13. This directive updates the allowed atmospheric pollutant limits, bringing them closer to those established by the WHO in 2021. Resistance to the new objectives, mainly coming from the industrial world and established economic interests in certain regions, makes the outcome of the vote uncertain. However, there are no serious scientific or political reasons to oppose or attempt to dilute the more ambitious limits proposed by the new directive.
