As climate change drives more frequent extreme heat and worsening air pollution, researchers are seeking better ways to understand how these exposures affect health in real time. A new pilot study led ...

When we talk about emissions these days, we typically talk about cutting them back for the good of the environment. However, the climate system is a complex beast, and one we’re still learning to ...

The Mediterranean Sea Emission Control Area (ECA) for sulphur oxides enters into effect on 1 May. This will make the Mediterranean Sea the fifth ECA for sulphur oxides in the world. In the ...

Oxygenated VOCs with low and/or extremely low vapor pressures are particularly significant to the climate. They are essential in generating atmospheric aerosols by condensing onto pre-existing aerosol ...

Metal valence state was identified as a key factor steering the anion reactivity and thus “indirectly” affecting the Li-bond strength, which further determined the conversion kinetics of lithium (poly ...
