A group of international experts led by QUT Professor Lidia Morawska has presented a blueprint for national indoor quality standards for public buildings, in an article in the prestigious journal Science.

A case study on the effects of open waste burning on air quality in Northwestern Greenland calls attention to the importance of no-one-left-behind sustainable air quality monitoring in the Arctic region.

The humble peat bog conjures images of a brown, soggy expanse. But it turns out to have a superpower in the fight against climate change.

New Curtin University research has shown the warming climate will turn Australia’s soil into a net emitter of carbon dioxide (CO2), unless action is taken.

Microplastics are tiny, nearly indestructible fragments shed from everyday plastic products.

When plastic ends up in the ocean, it gradually weathers and disintegrates into small particles. 

The 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was focused on quantum dots — objects so tiny, they’re controlled by the strange and complex rules of quantum physics. 

A new study finds that scaling back grazing on most pastureland worldwide would dramatically increase the amount of carbon stored in soils.

Some 80 percent of Earth’s carbon is held in soil. 

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are not typically associated with water ways, like streams and rivers, but emerging research shows that water bodies play an important role in storing and releasing carbon dioxide.
