Low-Cost Classroom Air Filters: New Research Shows How Indoor Air Quality Can Improve
Low-Cost Classroom Air Filters: New Research Shows How Indoor Air Quality Can Improve Improving indoor air quality does not always require expensive equipment or extensive building modifications. New research suggests that relatively simple air filtration systems can substantially reduce airborne particles in occupied classrooms. A study published in ACS ES&T Air in 2026 investigated the…

Antarctic Ice Loss and Sea-Level Rise: What New Research Means for Caribbean Coastlines
Antarctic Ice Loss and Sea-Level Rise: What New Research Means for Caribbean Coastlines Antarctica is very likely to continue losing ice this century, even if the world makes substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. However, the amount of ice lost still depends on future emissions. That is the central finding of new research published on…

Microplastics in Rivers: Why High Water Flows Can Change Pollution Levels
Microplastics in Rivers: Why High Water Flows Can Change Pollution Levels A river may contain substantially different concentrations of microplastics depending on when its water is sampled. New research from the Desert Research Institute (DRI) in the United States demonstrates how seasonal changes in river flow can influence the occurrence and movement of plastic particles…

Laboratory Plastic Waste Recycling: What Birmingham’s Glove Initiative Teaches Us
Laboratory Plastic Waste Recycling: What Birmingham’s Glove Initiative Teaches Us Scientific laboratories depend on disposable protective equipment, but growing attention is being given to what happens to these materials after use. A sustainability initiative at the University of Birmingham is demonstrating how carefully managed laboratory-waste collection can create new opportunities for plastics recycling. In September…
