Pollution at home lurks unrecognized, instead attributed to large-scale environmental disasters
Although Americans are becoming increasingly aware of toxic chemical exposure from everyday household products like bisphenol A in some baby bottles and lead in some toys, women do not readily connect typical household products with personal chemical exposure and related adverse health effects, according to research from the December issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.

Carbon, nitrogen link may provide new ways to mitigate pollution problems
A new study exploring the growing worldwide problem of nitrogen pollution from soils to the sea shows that global ratios of nitrogen and carbon in the environment are inexorably linked, a finding that may lead to new strategies to help mitigate regional problems ranging from contaminated waterways to human health.

UT Knoxville and ORNL researchers reveal key to how bacteria clear mercury pollution
Mercury pollution is a persistent problem in the environment. Human activity has lead to increasingly large accumulations of the toxic chemical, especially in waterways, where fish and shellfish tend to act as sponges for the heavy metal. View More (2009-10-02)
AGU: Gasoline worse than diesel when it comes to some types of air pollution
The exhaust fumes from gasoline vehicles contribute more to the production of a specific type of air pollution-secondary organic aerosols (SOA)-than those from diesel vehicles, according to a new study by scientists from the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) and other colleagues.

Study uses stream fish as indicators of water quality
For many years, regulatory agencies have used chemical standards to assess water quality. View More (2005-11-01)
USC lab releases smartphone app that measures particulate air pollution
University of Southern California computer scientists have found a way to combine smartphone resources with a novel application that allows the phones' users to help monitor air quality. View More (2010-09-21)
Penguins marching into trouble
A quarter-century of data reveals how changing weather patterns and land use, combined with overfishing and pollution, are taking a heavy toll on penguin numbers View More (2009-02-13)
Water, water, everywhere... but is it safe to drink?
Over the last couple of generations, there has been a huge amount of groundwater pollution worldwide, and this has had a negative impact on our drinking water supply," says Barbara Sherwood Lollar, Canada Research Chair in Isotope Geochemistry of the Earth and the Environment at the University of Toronto.

New eyes in the sky
Until now, scientists who study air pollution using satellite imagery have been limited by weather. Clouds, in particular, provide much less information than a sunny day. View More (2012-07-11)
Air pollution alters immune function, worsens asthma symptoms
Exposure to dirty air is linked to decreased function of a gene that appears to increase the severity of asthma in children, according to a joint study by researchers at Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley. View More (2010-10-06)
Algal biomonitor
A paper published in the current issue of the International Journal of Environment and Pollution, explains how a DNA test can be used to detect harmful algal blooms across the globe. View More (2008-10-01)
The Sky Is Not Falling: Pollution in eastern China cuts light, useful rainfall
New research shows that air pollution in eastern China has reduced the amount of light rainfall over the past 50 years and decreased by 23 percent the number of days of light rain in the eastern half of the country. View More (2009-08-17)
Study shows maritime shipping makes hefty contribution to air pollution
Commercial ships emit almost half as much particulate pollutants into the air globally as the total amount released by the world's cars, according to a new study led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the University of Colorado at Boulder. View More (2009-02-27)
Grazing Management Effects on Stream Pollutants
Surface water quality is important for the proper function of aquatic ecosystems, as well as human needs and recreation. View More (2011-07-22)
Freeway air bad for mouse brain
If mice commuted, their brains might find it progressively harder to navigate the maze of Los Angeles freeways. View More (2011-04-07)
Dirty air brings rain -- then again, maybe not
An international team of scientists, headed by Prof. Daniel Rosenfeld of the Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has come up with a surprising finding to the disputed issue of whether air pollution increases or decreases rainfall. The conclusion: both can be true, depending on local environmental conditions. View More (2008-09-08)
NASA's Aura satellite measures pollution 'butterfly' from fires in central Africa
Fires raging in central Africa are generating a high amount of pollution that is showing up in data from NASA's Aura Satellite, with the ominous shape of a dark red butterfly in the skies over southern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and northern Angola. View More (2011-07-18)
Long-term study shows acid pollution in rain decreased with emissions
Emissions regulations do have an environmental impact, according to a long-term study of acidic rainfall by researchers at the University of Illinois. View More (2011-11-17)
Stanford scientists help shed light on key component of China's pollution problem
It's no secret that China is faced with some of the world's worst pollution. Until now, however, information on the magnitude, scope and impacts of a major contributor to that pollution - human-caused nitrogen emissions - was lacking. View More (2013-02-26)
Higher stress leads to longer life
Eating less may make you healthier: even more reason to start that diet tomorrow. Scientists at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory have found that eating less helps marine animals cope with pollution and other stressful situations, and may even let them live longer. Professor Michael Moore found that triggering a cellular process known as autophagy in blue mussels by depriving them of food resulted... View More (2004-03-26)
