The composition of tiny airborne particles, called particulate matter, causes various changes in lung cells, impacting both their behaviour at a molecular level and their appearance.
Particulate matter pollution from coal power plants, has resulted in approximately 460,000 deaths in the United States over the past two decades.
Bees cannot detect common lethal pesticides in nectar, risking inadvertent consumption and population decline.
Overseas shipping containers may introduce harmful organisms to local environments, potentially causing huge risks to biosecurity protection.
Smoke infiltration indoors after a wildfire carries volatile chemicals that present health challenges. Cleaning proves more effective than ventilation or air purifiers in reducing indoor smoke pollutants.
Fine particle air pollution poses a far greater cardiovascular death risk for Black Americans than White, despite recent reductions.
Deep-sea mining tests reveal that such activities can have broader and more significant impacts on marine life than previously assumed.
Birds globally use human waste in nest-building, a trend that offers some benefits but also poses risks.
Gas stoves in California and Colorado have been found to be a significant source of the toxic chemical benzene.
