A team of University of Toronto researchers, led by Professor Greg Evans (ISTEP, ChemE) and Keith Van Ryswyk (ChemE PhD 2T3), is working to better understand the sources of air pollution in the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) subway system — an important first step towards improving its indoor air quality.  

In a revelation highlighting the fragile balance of our planet's atmosphere, scientists from China, Germany, and the USA have uncovered an unexpected link between massive wildfire events and the chemistry of the ozone layer.

U.S. Forest Service ecologists and partners published new findings on how planted mangroves can store up to 70% of carbon stock to that found in intact stands after only 20 years.

Bees and other beneficial bugs are disproportionately harmed by air pollution compared to crop-destroying pests, a new study published in Nature Communications has found.

As container ships the size of city blocks cross the oceans to deliver cargo, their huge diesel engines emit large quantities of air pollutants that drive climate change and have human health impacts.

Farming methods can reduce nitrous oxide emissions without slowing down the overall recovery of the ozone layer, results from new research have shown.

New evidence of changes to the Gulf Stream during the last ice age could indicate additional sensitivity to future climatic changes, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.

As climate change advances, the ocean’s overturning circulation is predicted to weaken substantially.

A new way to store carbon captured from the atmosphere developed by researchers from The University of Texas at Austin works much faster than current methods without the harmful chemical accelerants they require.

A McGill-led research team has developed the first real-time, on-site technology capable of detecting and deciphering nanoplastics from all other particles in water, a capacity akin to being able to find a needle in a haystack within milliseconds.
