A new study finds fog droplets can hold millions of bacteria. Here’s how that compares to Florida’s humid air.

The research team found that millions of bacteria floating in tiny fog droplets are alive, growing and breaking down pollutants in the air.

Nitrates in the atmosphere reduce air quality and play an important role in climate change. An international team led by Hokkaido University researchers has revealed how chemical processes in the ...

Alongside carbon dioxide, methane is a key driver of global warming. To detect and monitor the climate pollutants in the atmosphere precisely, scientists have developed an advanced laser technology. A ...

Urban vehicle emissions are a critical contributor to atmospheric pollution, impacting air quality, public health, and climate systems. While exhaust emissions—such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), ...
