First Evidence of Pollution Sullying Other Continents Scientists Document How a Chinese Dust Storm Affected Air Quality in North America. Research May Lead to Call for More Global Antipollution EffortsWhen the sky turned white last April, Thomas Cahill at the University of California at Davis knew...
A growing body of evidence suggests that wildfire smoke raises the risk of neurological diseases, as well as harming the lungs, kidney, and other organs.
1/2 Dashboard showing locations of Citizen Scientists all around the world We are also engaging in long-term research projects with educational institutions around the world; monitoring with cameras and AI object recognition software, and contributing to local understanding of the plastic pollution pr...
Some administrators and scientists think research conducted aboard the station is vital to the success of future lunar — and Martian — exploration efforts. Still, money questions always rear their ugly heads. Does the ISS divert too much cash away from other spacefaring projects — or vice ...
Real-time air quality monitoring provides immediate insights into pollution levels across different areas. For example,the European Space Agency is using AI to analyze satellite datato monitor air pollution levels in cities. Continuous monitoring helps in identifying hotspots and taking timely action. ...
How is ocean acidification used to monitor climate change? How do scientists study phytoplankton concentrations in the ocean? How does ocean acidification occur chemically? How does ocean acidification happen? How are scientists gathering data about ocean salinity? How are humans causing an increase in...
Though scientists warn that global warming will likely continue for centuries because of the long natural processes involved, there are a few things we can do to decrease the effects. Basically, they all boil down to this: Don't use as much of the stuff that creates greenhouse gases. On a...
Scientists still don't understand the full extent of the damage the Maui wildfires did to the corals and marine ecosystem off the west coast of the island.
Air quality scientists use this data in computer models to predict how the wind moves pollution around, and to better understand what air quality is like in counties without air monitors. Can you find an air monitoring location that collects meteorological data? Air Quality scientist Nathan Rice ...
But the sources of air pollution have changed over the years, scientists say, because of some tighter regulations. WHERE DO OUR TOP AIR POLLUTANTS COME FROM? "I would say 20 years ago, the top three (air quality polluters) were transportation/motor vehicles, power generation and industry," ...
