Pollution from Cooking Remains in Atmosphere for Longer - Study
Researchers at the University of Birmingham succeeded in demonstrating how cooking emissions – which account for up to 10 per cent of particulate pollution in the UK – are able to survive in the atmosphere over several days, rather than being broken up and dispersed.
Hard and Fast Emission Cuts Will Slow Warming Sooner
A new study shows that strong and rapid action to cut emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases will help to slow down the rate of global warming over the next 20 years.
How Clean Electricity Can Upgrade the Value of Captured Carbon
A team of researchers from U of T Engineering has created a new process for converting carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from smokestacks into commercially valuable products, such as fuels and plastics.
Global Trends in Nature’s Contributions to People
In a new study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a research team co-led by the University of Minnesota, examined the risks to human well-being and prosperity stemming from ongoing environmental degradation.
