While braking in your car may protect you from accidents and save your life, it could actually be harmful to your health in other ways, new research has found. Particles released into the air as ...

Global measurements and model calculations show that the complex relationship between the chemistry and climate impact of aerosol particles can be successfully captured by a simple formula. The extent ...

A recent study has uncovered compelling evidence suggesting that the climate effects of new particles in urban areas have been significantly underestimated. Particles play a crucial role in climate ...

Five grams of plastic particles on average enter the human gastrointestinal tract per person per week. This is roughly equivalent to the weight of a credit card. Whether ingested micro- and ...

Dispersion paints are mostly used in households for painting walls and ceilings. An interdisciplinary research team from the University of Bayreuth has now analysed the chemical composition of two ...

If you’re superstitious, a black cat in your path is bad luck, even if you keep your distance. Likewise, in quantum physics, particles can feel the influence of magnetic fields that they never come ...

Getting a handle on the true dangers posed by the widespread problem of plastic pollution involves understanding the different ways it moves through the environment, including its migration into the ...
