South Korean researchers create electrode that captures carbon from exhaust and converts it to valuable chemical in one step
South Korean researchers create a three-layer electrode for direct carbon capture and conversion. It captures CO2 from mixed industrial exhaust or air without needing costly purification. The device converts the captured CO2 into valuable formic acid in a single step. This process turns carbon capture from a cost into a potential revenue stream. It works […]

Invisible invasion: How to slash your annual microplastic consumption by tens of thousands of particles
Microplastics are now pervasive in our air, water, and food. The average person ingests tens of thousands of plastic particles yearly. Kitchen items like plastic containers and cutting boards are major contamination sources. Simple swaps to glass, ceramic, or metal can significantly reduce exposure. Systemic change is needed, but individual actions can lower personal intake. […]

Deforestation forces mosquitoes to target human blood, escalating disease risk, study finds
Deforestation in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest is forcing mosquitoes to target humans. Mosquitoes now prefer human blood due to a lack of wildlife hosts. This shift dramatically increases the risk of diseases like dengue and Zika. The change creates a direct link between environmental destruction and public health crises. Conserving ecosystems is crucial to preventing such […]

Breakthrough detection method finds alarming levels of nanoplastics in the air we breathe
New research reveals we are inhaling far more plastic particles than previously known. Scientists measured airborne microplastics and nanoplastics with a novel, more accurate method. Concentrations in urban air were found to be up to a million times higher than old estimates. These tiny particles can penetrate deep into lungs, enter the bloodstream, and cause […]

Antibiotic factories are pumping superbug genes into rivers with no oversight
Pharmaceutical factories are discharging wastewater packed with concentrated antibiotic resistance genes directly into the environment. This living pollution contains resistance levels up to 100 times higher than normal sewage, creating breeding grounds for superbugs. The genes easily spread between bacteria via mobile genetic elements, acting like biological USB drives. This contamination seeps into soils and […]

Mercedes-Benz pays $150 million to settle state diesel emissions cheating claims
Mercedes-Benz will pay up to $150 million to settle a diesel emissions cheating case with U.S. states. Officials allege the company sold more than 211,000 vehicles with illegal software from 2008 to 2016. The software allowed cars to emit pollutants at 30 to 40 times the legal limit on the road. State attorneys general called […]

Toxic time bombs: The 8,500 polluting shipwrecks no one is required to clean up
More than 8,500 sunken shipwrecks are leaking oil and toxins into the oceans. Most are World War II wrecks protected by sovereign immunity laws. These legal loopholes prevent mandatory cleanup by the original owner nations. Leaking pollutants are already harming marine ecosystems and sediment. A global coalition is pushing for a new framework to address […]

Ocean’s “ecosystem engineers” vanish in simultaneous die-offs across Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Indian Oceans
A mysterious pandemic is devastating vital sea urchin populations globally. In the Canary Islands, some sea urchin populations have collapsed by over 99%. These urchins are crucial grazers that keep algae in check and support healthy reefs. The die-off has triggered a reproductive collapse, preventing natural recovery. The unidentified pathogen threatens marine ecosystems and the […]
