Water quality in UK streams and rivers could be worse than currently estimated because we are failing to monitor micro-organisms throughout the year, according to new research.

Microscopic particles in air pollution inhaled by pregnant women may damage fetal cardiovascular development, according to a study by Rutgers researchers.

To help mitigate global warming by reducing the emissions that are largely responsible, wind is widely expected to become an alternative source of energy.

Scientists have revealed that the partnership between an alga and bacteria is making the essential element nitrogen newly available in the Arctic Ocean.

A new study finds vitamin D may be protective among asthmatic obese children living in urban environments with high indoor air pollution.

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have discovered a method of plastics upcycling—transforming discarded products into new, high-value materials of better quality and environmental value—that could economically incentivize the recycling of waste plastics and help solve one of the world’s most looming pollution problems.

A new Cornell-led study shows that pyrogenic matter, also known as biochar, is chock-full of potential as a fertilizer because of its ability to soak up nitrogen from the air pollutant ammonia.
