Coral Tissue Reveals Hidden Pollution: Lessons for Caribbean Reef Monitoring
Coral Tissue Reveals Hidden Pollution: Lessons for Caribbean Reef Monitoring Coral Tissue Reveals Hidden Pollution: Lessons for Caribbean Reef Monitoring A seawater sample offers a snapshot of conditions at one location and one moment. Coral tissue can reveal a longer and more complex story. Researchers studying reefs around Maui found 25 contaminants associated with agricultural,…

Wildfire Emissions Below the Surface: Why Soil, Peat and Air Monitoring Must Work Together
Wildfire Emissions Below the Surface: Why Soil, Peat and Air Monitoring Must Work Together When a wildfire moves through a forest, attention naturally focuses on flames, smoke and burned vegetation. Yet some of the most consequential combustion may occur out of sight—in leaf litter, organic soil horizons and peat beneath the surface. A new study…

Nanoplastics in Antarctic Soil: Why Environmental Testing Must Look Below the Visible
Nanoplastics in Antarctic Soil: Why Environmental Testing Must Look Below the Visible Nanoplastics in Antarctic Soil: Why Environmental Testing Must Look Below the Visible Scientists have detected nanoplastics in soils from one of Antarctica’s most remote ice-free environments. The particles were found in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, where extremely cold, dry and nutrient-poor conditions have…

Tyre Wear Pollution in Urban Dust: Why Air and Stormwater Monitoring Must Work Together
Tyre Wear Pollution in Urban Dust: Why Air and Stormwater Monitoring Must Work Together Traffic pollution is often discussed in terms of exhaust gases, smoke and fine particulate matter. But every journey also produces non-exhaust emissions as tyres repeatedly contact and abrade against road surfaces. The resulting material does not simply disappear. Tyre wear particles…
