Gender may play role in recovery from pneumonia after ozone exposure
Does air pollution have a bigger effect on the immune system of females than males? It did among mice exposed to ozone -- a major component in air pollution that is known to negatively affect lung function -- and then infected with pneumonia, as significantly more females died from the infection... view more (2007-06-26)

U. of Colorado study shows desert droughts lead to earlier annual mountain snow loss
A new study spearheaded by the University of Colorado at Boulder's National Snow and Ice Data Center indicates wind-blown dust from drought-stricken and disturbed lands in the Southwest can shorten the duration of mountain snow cover hundreds of miles away in the Colorado mountains by roughly a... view more (2007-06-26)
