Aerosols from Coniferous Forests No Longer Cool the Climate as Much
Emissions of greenhouse gases have a warming effect on the climate, whereas small airborne particles in the atmosphere, aerosols, act as a cooling mechanism.
Studies Link Air Pollution to Mental Health Issues in Children
Three new studies by scientists at Cincinnati Children’s, in collaboration with researchers at the University of Cincinnati, highlight the relationship between air pollution and mental health in children.
Potentially Large Economic Impacts of Climate Change Can Be Avoided by Human Actions
People are less motivated to take actions if its outcome is uncertain, and this could be true for climate-related issues.
OSU Ecologist: Ocean-Based Actions Can Close Gaps in Climate Change Mitigation
Ocean-based actions have greater potential to fill in gaps in climate change mitigation than previously appreciated, an Oregon State University scientist and two co-authors explain in a paper published today in Science.
Plastic Teabags Release Microscopic Particles into Tea
Many people are trying to reduce their plastic use, but some tea manufacturers are moving in the opposite direction: replacing traditional paper teabags with plastic ones. Now, researchers reporting in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology have discovered that a soothing cup of the brewed beverage may come with a dose of micro- and nano-sized plastics shed from the bags. Possible health effects of ingesting these particles are currently unknown, the researchers say.
