Apr. 12, 2021 Researchers have discovered three liquid phases in aerosol particles, changing our understanding of air pollutants in the Earth's atmosphere. While aerosol particles were known to contain up to ...
Mar. 29, 2021 A new instrument that samples smoke from megafires and scans humidity will help researchers better understand the scale and long-term impact of fires -- specifically how far and high the smoke will ...
Jan. 16, 2023 A new study shows that smoke particles from human-lit fires are responsible for over 80% of smoke-related deaths each year. The study shows that smoke pollution is on the rise, reducing air quality, ...
May 16, 2023 Up to two-thirds of the soot above the central Amazon rainforest originates in Africa. Researchers differentiate soot particles using their relative properties and attribute them to their respective ...
Aug. 23, 2023 New Yorkers can apparently breathe a sigh of relief, at least for now. Their exposure to the smoke in June 2023 from Canadian wildfires led to only a slightly higher bump in visits to New York City ...
May 11, 2021 A systematic modeling study of simple air cleaners using a box fan shows these inexpensive units can greatly decrease the amount of airborne virus in these spaces, if used ...
Feb. 27, 2024 Cooking on your gas stove can emit more nano-sized particles into the air than vehicles that run on gas or diesel, possibly increasing your risk of developing asthma or other respiratory illnesses, a ...
Jan. 19, 2022 Direct observations were made on the interactions between aerosol particles formed in boreal forests and clouds in the atmospheric boundary ...
Mar. 17, 2022 A new study shows that smoke from wildfires destroys the ozone layer. Researchers caution that if major fires become more frequent with a changing climate, more damaging ultraviolet radiation from ...
Sep. 27, 2021 N95 respirators offer the best protection against wildfire smoke and other types of air pollution, performing better than synthetic, cotton and surgical masks. N95s were so effective in the lab ...
