Monitoring

Researchers at Arizona State University have discovered that fog is far more alive than it appears, finding that bacteria living inside tiny fog droplets are not only surviving, they are actively growing and helping remove harmful pollutants from the air.

In the forests of central Germany, scientists have discovered that trees and soils are quietly collecting large amounts of airborne microplastics. The study provides a clear picture of how plastic pollution travels through the air and ends up in terrestrial ecosystems.
