Autonomie Express is designed to help transport and mobility companies, researchers, city planners and others estimate their vehicles’ impact on energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Nearly 100 wildfires are currently raging throughout the country, burning more than 2 million acres.
A new study reveals the bioactivity of microplastics in Lake Ontario using cutting-edge nanomembrane filtering technology. Researchers found all samples contained microplastics ranging between 8 and 20 µm. The study highlights varying bioactivity levels, such as aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activity and IL-6 levels, indicating potential health risks.
Changing weather patterns, like dry-wet and freeze-thaw cycles, significantly impact the release of harmful chemicals known as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) from soils at e-waste recycling sites. Tiny soil particles, called colloids, play a crucial role in moving these pollutants.
Aerosol particles imbue climate models with uncertainty. New work by PNNL researchers reveals where in the world and under what conditions new particles are born.
A recent Supreme Court decision to block a federal rule curbing interstate air pollution further complicates efforts to reduce emissions and adds to an already disproportionate burden on “downwind” states, according to researchers at the University of Notre Dame. “Toxic air pollution is really not as well known by the general public as you would hope, given its impact on human health,” said Paola Crippa, assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences.
A new study has found a link between long-term UFP exposure and increases in mortality in New York, especially among underserved populations.
Aerosol scientists at Washington University in St. Louis quantify the extent of light absorption by black carbon in fire clouds to better model climate impacts of extreme wildfire events.
First of a kind study shows an average 20% spike of nitrogen dioxide polluting the air for communities located near huge warehouses; people of color harder hit ...
Microbes that live in tree bark are sucking greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, making trees an even more critical part of combating climate change than scientists previously thought, according to a study published today in Nature.
Baby oysters rely on natural acoustic cues to settle in specific environments, but new research from the University of Adelaide reveals that noise from human activity is interfering with this critical process.
Our bioproduct experts collaborated with industry to help scale-up a promising microbe-made plastic alternative built from the carbon in methane gas.
Dr. Ryi, Shin-kun’s research team at the Hydrogen Convergence Materials Lab of the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has successfully developed a catalyst from industrial waste known as 'red mud,' a byproduct of aluminum production.
Chemists have been working to synthesize high-value materials from waste molecules for years.
The way oil drops break up at the water’s surface means some oil may not get cleaned up after a spill
NYU Tandon's Center for K12 STEM Education has educated thousands of NYC public school students from underrepresented groups. The summer program offers courses in cybersecurity, urban engineering, sustainability, and noise pollution, bridging gaps in STEM education and inspiring future innovators.
One GW professor says technology at the intersection of economic, security, and sustainability imperatives create both challenges and opportunities in creating effective policies moving forward.
In Physics of Fluids, researchers examine the specific impacts of microplastics on the geophysics of sea foam formation in the critical zone where water meets air in the top layer of the ocean.
