Fossil fuel combustion is the main contributor to black carbon collected at five sites around the Arctic, which has implications for global warming, according to a study by an international group of scientists that included a team from Baylor University.

Coal-fired power plants produce more than just the carbon dioxide that contributes to global warming. 

Artificial leaves mimic photosynthesis — the process whereby plants use water and carbon dioxide from the air to produce carbohydrates using energy from the sun.

The Science Advances (IF: 11.5), one of the most reputable scientific journals, has published a key article devoted to the study of emission sources of black carbon (BC) into the atmosphere of the Arctic.

A set of technologies that is expected to have its first results four years from now is designed to resolve one of the world’s greatest oil and gas exploration challenges today: carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emission in the atmosphere. 

The trucks and trains that transport goods across the United States emit gases and particles that threaten human health and the environment. 

Humans have a "disproportionately huge effect" on the other species of vertebrates that share Earth's surface with us, causing more than 25 percent of the deaths among an array of species all over the globe, according to a recently published study.

According to a group of international researchers, the potential for large countries to contribute to environmental protection is being overlooked.

Purdue University researchers have created a chemical conversion process that could allow polyolefin waste into useful products, such as clean fuels and other items.

Scientists from five European countries have joined forces to develop next-generation 'chemical noses' to remove industrial pollutants from the environment.
