Discharged in large quantities by textile, cosmetic, ink, paper and other manufacturers, dyes carry high-toxicity and can bring potential carcinogens to wastewater.

Trees including oak and poplar will emit more isoprene — a compound that worsens air pollution — as global temperatures rise, according to new MSU research.

Some of the thinnest materials known to mankind may provide solutions to scientists in their quest to curb the effects of global warming.

Volcanic ash is no ordinary dust: It gets injected into the atmosphere, climbs to the stratosphere, impacts climate, powders roadways and clogs jet engines.

Using humidity-powered technology, researchers found several new ions that facilitate low-energy carbon sequestration.
