More #DataCenters, more #environmental problems?
As #AI’s reach grows, the need for data centers multiplies. So, too, could the #EcologicalImpacts without hands-on mitigation.
By Ambika Kandasamy, Sep 24, 2025
Excerpt: "A December 2024 preprint of a study from researchers at the University of California, Riverside, and California Institute of Technology outlined the toll of AI-related #AirPollution. 'AI contributes substantially to air quality degradation and public health costs through the emission of various criteria #AirPollutants,' the authors wrote.
"Other forms of #pollution, such as light and noise, also could be problematic. Neil Carter, an associate professor at the University of Michigan’s School for Environment and Sustainability, has studied the links between #SensoryPollution and conservation. While he hasn’t researched #AIDatacenters’ impact on #wildlife specifically, he says AI data centers potentially could be '#SensoryDangerZones.'
" 'Sensory danger zones are basically where we have reason to believe that the amount of light and the amount of noise is exceeding thresholds by which you can imagine there being a fitness consequence for species,' Carter says. 'And they may not be able to carry out the necessary functions that they normally would.' Research by Carter and his colleagues has explored how #LightPollution, for example, could disrupt the dynamics between predator and prey species, such as #cougars and #MuleDeer. Their research also has looked into how #AnthropogenicSounds could affect reproduction in #birds including the #NorthernCardinal, #OakTitmouse and #BarnSwallow.
"To address some of these issues, experts recommend adopting sustainable strategies when building and operating AI data centers and when using AI. The decisions 'we make today will be having an impact on the public health for many years to come, due to the long life span for data center projects,' says Shaolei Ren, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of California, Riverside, and an author of the #AirPollution study."

Boerenzwaluw-update 3:
Sinds een week nog een derde mannetje! Na wat initiële schermutselingen begon die dapper te kleien tegen een ander stuk hout. Dat ging niet zo lekker. Daarom ook daar sinds gisteren een kunstnest opgehangen. De relatie met de buren is okay. Het wachten is nu op een derde vrouwtje…

Het nieuwe tweede paartje heeft nu ook een omkapping van plexiglas om hun nest tegen de steenmarter. Daar nog volop activiteiten… maar nog geen gebroed.

The barn swallows have been back for a few days. At first just 2 or 3 of them, but today there were 6 or more.
I think I can take a better in-flight shot. On the other hand, I might spend all summer trying and not do any better.

Verse klei op een oud nestkommetje… dat wordt waarschijnlijk een tweede nest!

Look at all those mouths to feed! Marjorie Powell introduces the beautiful barn swallow. You may see these small birds zipping through the air at Crab Cove visitors center, Jean Sweeney Park, and beyond. Check out these great photos by Rick Lewis. https://alamedapost.com/features/nature/buildings-bridges-barn-swallows/

*** Swallow’s Waltz ***“Under here, everyone,” Maya yelled as the rain began.
It was dry under the railroad trestle. An odd mixture of old creosote and new rain scented the air. Cornflowers bloomed in the shelter of the old posts, the same soft blue as Chino’s hair.
Across from them, a shadowed area stretched under the tracks. “Let’s pretend a troll lives here. Fee. Fia. Foe…” Maya began.
“Let’s not,” Megu and Chino said.
Outside their shelter, a drizzle fell, but heavy cloud masses hinted at a downpour.
“Look, swallows,” Chino said, pointing. Outside the bridge, they darted between raindrops, catching and swallowing the evening gnats as they wove a dance.
“Woah!” Megu said. The magical moment entranced the three as they watched.
Chino squeezed Megu’s hand, eyes wide. “It’s like a waltz.”
Megu nodded. “A rainy-day waltz.”
Thunder rolled in the distance like drums warning of a climax, but the dancers continued the ballet for the three young observers.
Maya suddenly shattered the moment by making zig-zag motions with her hands. “Let’s run home. I bet I can dodge rain. The person who gets the wettest is a rotten egg.”
“No.” Chino was firm, the wonder still sparkling in her eyes.
“Look,” Megu said, pointing, “nests. I wonder if there are chicks.” The three peered at the mud-and-straw nests nestled beneath the bridge beams. It was another wonder on display.
“They must be ‘Mud Dobber Swallows,’” Chino said. “I saw them in a book at school. Let’s just watch.”
They lingered, the rain a gentle backdrop to their fascination, until Megu blinked. “The rain’s stopped. I want to show the others.”
“Yeah!” And off they ran to Rabbit House, accompanied by delighted shrieks as Maya discovered a rain puddle, followed by, “Hey, wait up!”
