Changes in fire patterns have led to seasonal reductions in nitrogen dioxide pollution.

As atmospheric concentrations of CFC-11 drop, the global ocean should become a source of the chemical by the middle of next century.

A new study lead by scientists at the University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science demonstrates that under realistic environmental conditions oil drifting in the ocean after the DWH oil spill photooxidized into persistent compounds within hours to days, instead over long periods of time as was thought during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. 

Researchers have developed a sustainable and economical way to recover oil from ultra-cold industrial wastewater and oil spills.

Millions of people die prematurely every year from diseases and cancer caused by air pollution.

A long-lasting, successful relationship between scientists at the MBL Ecosystems Center and the citizen-led Buzzards Bay Coalition has garnered a long-term record of water quality in the busy bay that lies west of Woods Hole. 

Nearly 100 percent of the red snapper sampled in the Gulf of Mexico over a six-year period showed evidence of liver damage.

Nanoplastic debris can clump in estuaries, forming larger clusters that either settle or stick to solid objects.

On October 20 last year, French oil giant Total docked a tanker loaded with Australian liquefied natural gas at the port of Dapeng in southern China.

As countries around the world race to mitigate global warming by limiting carbon dioxide emissions, an unlikely source could be making climate goals harder to achieve without even deeper cuts in greenhouse gas production: reductions in air pollution.
