A study by the UFZ has uncovered the presence of microplastics in a remote marine protected region. When plastic finds its way into the ocean,…
Typically viewed as unrelated problems, global warming and plastic pollution are instead inextricably trapped in a “vicious circle” where one feeds the other, researchers in…
The work may aid in controlling an important source of air pollution. Researchers have a limited understanding of the particles emitted into the air when…
Annually, over a million deaths worldwide are associated with short-term exposure (ranging from hours to days) to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the air. Every…
According to a study recently published in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, individuals exposed to higher levels of traffic-related air…
Scientists have achieved notable progress in reducing environmental pollution by improving the performance of vanadium-based catalysts with nitrogen-doped biomass carbon. This method facilitates the breakdown…
A collaborative study between the University of East Anglia and the Ocean University of China has identified the ‘Anthropogenic Nitrogen Pump’ in coastal seas. This…
A recent study suggests that the health impact of air pollution caused by fossil fuels is significantly greater than previously thought. Eliminating fossil fuel usage…
Decreases more substantial in high-income neighborhoods. Over the last decades, air pollution emissions have decreased substantially; however, the magnitude of the change varies by demographics,…
A new report in Nature Geoscience has brought to light the challenge of air pollution levels in Africa and why international action is needed to…
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,…
