Exposure to extreme heat increases both chronic and acute malnutrition among infants and young children in low-income countries – threatening to reverse decades of progress, Cornell research finds.

Professors say it is a sign of more to come as climate change continues to create extreme weather challenges.

As extreme heatwaves ravage the United States, Europe and Africa, killing thousands, scientists warn that the worst is still to come.

In their study, the team investigated various properties and the genetic material of 916 wild and domesticated rye plants from different regions in Europe and Asia.

Air pollution remains a silent killer in Massachusetts, responsible for an estimated 2,780 deaths a year and for measurable cognitive loss in Bay State children exposed to fine particulate pollutants in the air they breathe, according to a new study by researchers at Boston College’s Global Observatory on Planetary Health (formerly the BC Observatory on Pollution and Health).
