A change in atmospheric chemistry during the covid pandemic resulted in methane concentrations spiking, raising concerns that ...
Methane comes in different isotopic signatures. Methane from fossil fuels like natural gas leaks or coal mines is heavier, ...
The findings highlight the complex link between atmospheric chemistry, climate, and human activity.
In an ironic twist, lower air pollution during Covid lockdowns fuelled an unprecedented surge in the powerful greenhouse gas ...
The paradox raises questions on how to ensure clean air policies do negatively affect climate. Read more at straitstimes.com.
A combination of weakened atmospheric removal and increased emissions from warming wetlands, rivers, lakes, and agricultural ...
Covid-19 lockdownshas unexpectedly caused a surge in methane, a potent greenhouse gas. This has happened because pollution reductions weakened the atmosphere's natural methane-clearing ability.
Chemicals used in refrigeration break down in the atmosphere to produce trifluoroacetic acid, a persistent pollutant that ...
A dual-action nanomaterial uses cancer’s own chemistry to destroy tumors while leaving healthy cells unharmed.
A combination of weakened atmospheric removal and increased emissions from warming wetlands, rivers, lakes, and agricultural land increased atmospheric methane at an unprecedented rate in the early ...
Methane spiked in the early 2020s as wetter conditions boosted emissions at the same time the atmosphere’s chemical “cleaner” weakened.
Scientists at Oregon State University have developed a nanomaterial that triggers chemical reactions to kill cancer cells ...
