Live Christmas trees release chemicals called volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Some of those VOCs can react with ozone, a reactive gas, to produce chemical irritants…
WashU researchers, who quantified changes in air pollution from 1998 to 2019, state that further mitigation is still necessary. Ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is…
In the Salt Lake Valley, cars equipped with advanced air quality measurement tools, similar to Google Street View vehicles, traversed neighborhoods to gather highly detailed…
Residing close to major roadways is linked with an increased occurrence of dementia and changes in brain structure, primarily attributed to traffic-related air pollution, according…
Study finds that fire-prone areas and downwind regions have seen an increase in premature deaths. You need only to remember last summer’s wildfires in the…
To reduce marine debris, which causes serious environmental pollution in the sea, researchers at the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT, President…
Fishing nets, carpets, and clothing decompose without producing harmful byproducts. Many people are familiar of the disturbing scenes of marine creatures, such as sea turtles,…
The new method breaks up dangerous chemicals into harmless substances. New findings indicate that ultrasound technology could be effective in treating per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances…
A new study quantifies how much microplastic is sent into the air from ocean spray. When sea bubbles pop, they launch tiny particles, like salt…
While useful for killing pathogens including SARS-CoV-2, the lights may cause unwanted chemical reactions and should be used with ventilation, researchers say. Many efforts to…
