A revelation occurred to Stephen Luby, a Stanford epidemiologist while he was 30,000 ft up in the air. Luby was flying over India when he recognized the view from his window seat was actually brick kilns on the ground below.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) researchers have developed a laboratory instrument capable of measuring the amount of carbon in many carbon-containing materials derived from fossil fuels.
A number of homes and also certain eco-friendly structures may be prone to indoor air pollution. An innovative research performed by scientists from the Silent Spring Institute gives a better viewpoint of the origin of such pollutants—namely, the pollutants formed from chemicals being discharged from building materials and the pollutants brought into the home by people in the form of personal items.
An international group of Researchers came together on a small patch of ponderosa pine forest in Colorado for a few weeks during the summer of 2011 to perform one of the most comprehensive, lengthy surveys of atmospheric chemistry ever tried out in one place.
An International collaboration of Researchers co-led by a Monash Biologist has demonstrated that methane-oxidizing bacteria – key organisms accountable for greenhouse gas mitigation – are resilient and more flexible than formerly thought.
“What is in your water?” has become a progressively anxious question for many people in the U.S. and other regions of the world. An answer for that is neither easy nor cheap. Recently, researchers are reporting that they are applying the familiar “coffee-ring effect” to test multiple components in one drop of water easily, quickly and inexpensively. And in the future, the public could use the technique to analyze the tap water they are using.
A new study reveals that researchers at the South Coast Air Quality Management District and the University of Southern California have discovered that an extensive installation of certain "cool roof" materials in the region could increase ozone and fine particulate pollution levels up to some extent.
When hydropower reservoirs capture organic matter, it results in higher local greenhouse gas emissions. However, these emissions are not increased but displaced. A new instrument measures the real greenhouse gas footprints of reservoirs.
Algae blooms in the Gulf of Mexico use most of the oxygen in the water which results in massive "dead zones" that are incapable of supporting fish or other wildlife. Nitrate, running off agricultural fields via tile drainage systems, is one of the reasons for this situation.
If climate change is not curbed, increased precipitation could substantially overload U.S. waterways with excess nitrogen, according to a new study from Carnegie’s Eva Sinha and Anna Michalak and Princeton University’s Venkatramani Balaji published by Science.
