Globally, wildfires are becoming more frequent and destructive, generating a significant amount of smoke that can be transported thousands of miles, driving the need for more accurate air pollution forecasts. 

The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases daily with no sign of stopping or slowing. 

The cycling of carbon through the environment is an essential part of life on the planet.

The first evidence that exceeding the World Health Organization (WHO) ozone limit is associated with substantial increases in hospital admissions for heart attack, heart failure and stroke is published today in European Heart Journal, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).

Production of meat, dairy and rice are the leading sources of food-related emissions.

A wildfire can pump smoke up into the stratosphere, where the particles drift for over a year. A new MIT study has found that while suspended there, these particles can trigger chemical reactions that erode the protective ozone layer shielding the Earth from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet radiation.

A pilot project has estimated emissions and removals of carbon dioxide in individual nations using satellite measurements.

Europe’s life science laboratory EMBL is leading the TREC project: the first pan-European and cross-disciplinary effort to examine life in its natural context at unprecedented scales.

The Phlegraean volcanic fields just west of Naples, Italy, are among the top eight emitters of volcanic carbon dioxide in the world. 

Conifers are generally better than broadleaved trees at purifying air from pollutants.
