Study Reveals Healing the Ozone Hole Helps the Southern Ocean Take Up Carbon
New research suggests that the negative effects of the ozone hole on the carbon uptake of the Southern Ocean are reversible, but only if greenhouse gas emissions rapidly decrease.
Drinking Water, Select Foods Linked to PFAS in California Adults
While concentrations of older “forever” chemicals appear to have decreased in many foods over the last two decades, a new study found that drinking water, along with seafood, eggs, and brown rice, still contribute to PFAS exposure in adults.
