As global air pollution policies successfully cut human-made emissions, an overlooked natural feedback loop is undermining those hard-won gains. New research reveals that extreme heatwaves trigger a ...

Nitrogen pollution could intensify global water scarcity threefold by 2050, scientists warn in a recently published paper. In addition, “newly emerging pollutants,” such as microplastics, heavy metals ...

While a wealth of nutrient export models exists, a knowledge gap persists regarding how climate and land-use changes specifically drive dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) export in subtropical ...

Dozens of studies have demonstrated that nitrogen pollution, due mainly to the burning of fossil fuels and agricultural practices, is causing plant biodiversity losses worldwide. But whether rising ...

The Dutch cabinet has finalised agreement on a new package of measures to reduce nitrogen-based pollution in the Netherlands ...

The Dutch government is planning to set up low nitrogen zones around protected nature areas as part of its plan to bring emissions within European limits and ease restrictions on farming and ...

Parts of North America are poised to become “hotspots of water scarcity” within decades, partly because pollutants will make some water sources harder to use, scientists warned on Tuesday, urging ...

Fig.1 An integrated modeling framework evaluates how ambitious nitrogen interventions can reduce ammonia and nitrogen emissions, consequently improve air quality by lowering fine particulate matter ...

College students are testing private wells in south-central Kansas. The results are prompting families to install treatment systems to reduce nitrate levels. Matthew Kirk has an unpleasant task: ...
