Read how an ammonium nitrate producer maintained compliance with emissions regulations during a growth spurt. It is common knowledge that there is an overwhelming global food shortage and, with the world's population growing exponentially, the demand for agricultural produce will continue to rise. Within CECO Environmental’s line of work, fertilizer producers frequently have to adjust operations to align with market fluctuations and the evolving need to ramp up production output.

As we conclude our Earth Day celebrations at CECO, I would like to reflect on the extreme pride our organization and employees across the globe have shown. Whether it is picking up trash at the Jumeirah Umm Suqeim Public Beach Clean-up in the Middle East or removing harmful NOx & VOCs from different manufacturing processes in Dallas, TX, CECO demonstrates our commitment to protecting the environment through the products and services we offer as well as the volunteer efforts we support.

Eliminating Carbon and other Toxic Emissions Along the Supply Chain

Seven million. According to a recent study just released by The World Health Organization, that’s how many people died from pollution in the world last year—16% of all deaths worldwide. According to a recent paper in the British journal The Lancet, cited in TIME magazine, the number could be as high as nine million.

The vast majority of those people were in developing “low- and middle-income” countries. In places like India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Madagascar, and Kenya, up to one in four deaths can be tied to pollution. In 2015, pollution in China was linked to 1.8 million deaths, and in India it was linked to 2.5 million deaths. And while the figure for the US is an order of magnitude smaller at 155,000, that’s still far too many. As the saying goes, those people were parents and grandparents and siblings and children. Every one of them mattered.

In celebration of Earth Day week, CECO Environmental releases the first in a series of blogs about the opportunities to improve air quality.
