HFC-125 is a greenhouse gas becoming a major contributor to global warming, and in the first study to use satellites to measure its concentration in the atmosphere, researchers found it has increased exponentially in the past 20 years.

Wildfire smoke has long been known to exacerbate health problems like heart disease, lung conditions, and asthma, but now a new study finds that smoke from these fires can lead to poor health thousands of miles away.

The air around us contains a powerful solution for making agriculture more sustainable.

Researchers have found evidence that living in areas prone to wildfire smoke may negatively impact an individual’s life expectancy.

The chemicals known as PFAS are considered a severe threat to human health. 

A University of Queensland-led study shows greenhouse gas emissions from tourism have been growing more than 2 times faster than those from the rest of the global economy.

After storing carbon dioxide in frozen soil for millennia, the Arctic tundra is being transformed by frequent wildfires into an overall source of carbon to the atmosphere, which is already absorbing record levels of heat-trapping fossil fuel pollution.

The Arctic is shaped by its cold, harsh climate and limited daylight hours during winter. But the typically frigid region is warming about four times faster than the rest of the planet, which has facilitated more transportation and increased development.

Microplastics are an environmental hazard found nearly everywhere on Earth, released by the breakdown of tires, clothing, and plastic packaging.

MIT chemical engineers have devised a way to capture methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and convert it into polymers.
