What if well-meaning policies that reduce one atmospheric pollutant could also increase natural emissions of powerful greenhouse gases? Our findings, just published in the journal Science Advances, ...

Clean energy transitions are known to reduce carbon emissions, but their co-benefits for atmospheric heavy metal pollution remain unclear. Here we assess this co-benefit using data from 331 Chinese ...

This study introduces a novel nonlinear mathematical model by considering three dynamic variables: densities of human population and industries, and concentration of atmospheric pollutants. The ...

When it comes to reducing atmospheric carbon, new research shows that renewable energy is a more cost-effective investment than direct air capture. Reading time 3 minutes To avoid the worst impacts of ...

With temperatures set to soar again in Europe, the link between heatwaves and air pollution is back under the spotlight.

If nations reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, they could slow climate change. Those actions would also have the added benefit of saving over two million lives globally that might be lost because ...

Up to 250,000 deaths from poor air quality could be prevented annually in central and western Europe by 2050 if greenhouse gas emissions are drastically reduced, say researchers. A study by ...

India, June 24 -- Aircraft emissions may double air pollution deaths by 2040 if aviation activity continues to grow and ...

Nitrates in the atmosphere reduce air quality and play an important role in climate change. An international team led by Hokkaido University researchers has revealed how chemical processes in the ...

The quest to identify a new way to potentially counter one of the world's most widely discussed solar geoengineering proposals has taken a new, exciting turn—raising questions about how future climate ...

Londoners are urged to take steps to reduce air pollution and check on vulnerable residents.
