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.

Adding a simple polymer to fertilizers or pesticides could dramatically reduce agricultural pollution, suggests a new study by researchers at the University of British Columbia.  

The team used ozone observations from more than 8,800 sites around the globe and output from nine different global atmospheric models.

Computational models of air quality have long been used to shed light on pollution control efforts in the United States and Europe, but the tools have not found widespread adoption in Latin America.
