With the climate crisis continuing to tighten its grip, nations around the world are making efforts to reduce emissions of climate warming gases.

The Texas A&M-owned van is equipped with a highly sensitive instrument that allows it to detect a wide range of chemical pollutants and offer real-time results.

Around 180,000 avoidable deaths over 14 years in fast-growing tropical cities were caused by a rapid rise in emerging air pollution, a study led by researchers at UCL and the University of Birmingham has revealed.

Carbon dioxide levels also record a big jump

Nine out of 10 people in the world breathe air that exceeds the World Health Organization’s guidelines for air pollution.

A new study by scientists Kaitlin Naughten and Paul Holland from British Antarctic Survey (BAS) provides the first evidence that rising greenhouse gases have a long-term warming effect on the Amundsen Sea in West Antarctica.

For the first time, researchers have spotted short-term, regional fluctuations in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) across the globe due to emissions from human activities.

Instead of prioritising energy-efficient, sustainable sea transport, the focus is often on satisfying commercial interests when planning shipping routes.

They found that greenhouse gas emissions from streams and wetlands at Coweeta could be highly variable.

Data from the Tropomi instrument onboard the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite has been used to detect methane plumes over some of Europe’s largest methane-emitting coal mines.
