Pollutants can increase stress levels, which in turn affects judgment and makes some people more likely to commit crime.
Study finds that coal pollution in China is leading to people getting significant levels of mercury poisoning from rice.
Earth’s ozone layer shields us from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Nations have been working to reduce ozone-depleting chemicals since the 1980s, but recent studies show that there is still work to do.
Air pollution could be the next battleground between California and the Trump administration, which is reviewing the Golden State’s special legal authority to regulate tailpipe emissions.
When present in the lowest atmospheric layer, ozone becomes a concern for human and plant health.
Environmental and health groups have called for the creation of a non-political federal agency with the power to rule on pollution levels - much like the Reserve Bank does for interest rates.
There is a rapid shift in production of electric cars all over the world. But how will it benefit ordinary people?
Most Americans don’t want incinerators in their neighborhoods, so waste management companies are burning trash in other facilities such as cement kilns. Is this a sustainable way to deal with garbage?
Free public transport could be one way to get more people to ditch the car.
A surprising study published in Science found that as fuel emissions drop, consumer products are playing a larger role in air pollution.
An analysis of air pollutants from Texas shows how significant – and largely underregulated – the category of ‘excess’ emissions is across the US.
New York soon may charge a fee to drive into central Manhattan as a way of reducing traffic and raising funds for public transit. An urban scholar says this step is overdue in the United States.
China has built a skyscraper-sized purification tower. But it will only clean perhaps 0.01% of the air in the ‘atmospheric box’ sat over a city.
Our health depends on the quality of air indoors, where most of us spend 90% of our time. The easiest solution is to open a window, but what if that’s not an option?
The beneficial effects of walking are reduced by the detrimental effects of inhaling polluted air.
While India struggles for answers to its urban air pollution crisis, Beijing is moving forward with strong resolve and effective policy.
How do mercury emissions from industrialized countries reach the remote Arctic? Recent research shows that plants on the tundra absorb mercury vapor through their leaves, then pass it into soil.
Winter has once again brought severe air pollution to the Indian capital.
Intense wildfires in southern California are triggering air quality alerts. Health experts know surprisingly little about how inhaling smoke affects human health, especially over the long term.
