| Night lights: New global atlas maps out artificial light at night under the sea Posted: 14 Dec 2021 12:21 PM PST A new study maps out areas of the ocean most affected by light pollution, and shows that up to 1.9 million km2 of the world's coastal waters are being exposed to biologically significant levels of artificial light at night. |
| Source of large rise in emissions of unregulated ozone destroying substance identified Posted: 14 Dec 2021 05:45 AM PST New research has discovered that emissions coming from China of the ozone-destroying chemical, dichloromethane, have more than doubled over the last decade. |
| Decreased vehicle emissions linked with significant drop in deaths attributable to air pollution Posted: 13 Dec 2021 01:01 PM PST As emissions fell over a decade, the number of deaths attributable to air pollution dropped by thousands, yielding billions of dollars in societal benefits. |
| Want to limit carbon and curb wildfire? Create a market for small trees Posted: 13 Dec 2021 09:18 AM PST Thinning treatments reduce the risk of wildfire and provide ecological benefits for California's forests, but they also generate wood residues that are often burnt or left to decay, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. A new analysis shows how incentivizing industries that convert wood residues into useful products -- including biofuels and construction-quality engineered lumber -- could fund forest thinning treatments while preventing the release of carbon. |
