In a village in Kachin State, Myanmar, bordering China’s Yunnan province, a day laborer named Naw had earned just enough in the sugarcane and cornfields to feed his family of six before pandemic-induced border closures left him struggling to find work.

A new study has found contaminants that were banned decades ago are still imperiling critically endangered California condors. 

Researchers at University of Limerick have developed a new material that has the ability to capture toxic chemicals from the air.

New research modeling smoke from two recent megafires sets the stage for better forecasting of how emissions from these global-scale events will behave and impact temperatures. 

As vehicle traffic lightened and industry slowed during the COVID-19 stay-at-home period in 2020, a University of Houston study by the air quality forecasting group led by Yunsoo Choi, associate professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, estimates levels of potentially-dangerous air pollutants simultaneously decreased in major cities across the country.

No one likes sitting at a red light. But signalized intersections aren’t just a minor nuisance for drivers; vehicles consume fuel and emit greenhouse gases while waiting for the light to change.

Surrey's Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE) has developed a model to help predict how different types of the green infrastructure placed in and around a city can impact the spread of toxic nanoparticles and whether they help improve the air quality.

Proponents of degrowth have long argued that economic growth is detrimental to the environment. 

Eliminating air pollution emissions from energy-related activities in the United States would prevent more than 50,000 premature deaths each year and provide more than $600 billion in benefits each year from avoided illness and death, according to a new study by University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers.

Certain groups exposed to more air pollution than others. Cleaner fuels could help.
