‘It’s really frustrating’: Ontario Tech nursing student pushes for lab use amid pandemic

Ontario Tech professor says far-UVC light could curtail COVID-19 transmission Lori Livingston, Ontario Tech provost and vice-president academic, says the university made the decision to restrict lab access because the majority of its students commute from out of town and could pose a higher risk when it comes to virus transmission.“If we were to bring the students, the staff and the faculty, and there was a case identified, that would actually shut down all of our instruction for all of our students for a two-week period,” Livingston said.“It’s just, from our perspective, too risky.”Pegg says since students have been learning from home, they’ve been instructed to purchase printable cut-outs from a children’s education website.

More efficient air conditioning could save years of global emissions, study finds

greenhouse gas emissions, or eight years worth, could be prevented from being released over the next four decades by setting tougher standards on air conditioning appliances, a new study has found.Published Friday by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Energy Agency (IEA), the study found that stringent actions to make air conditioning systems more effective could reduce between 210 to 460 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2060.According to the report, countries could achieve the change by regulating the reduction of climate-warming refrigerants like hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) — potentially avoiding as much as 0.4 degrees Celcius of global warming by the end of the century.
