Women exposed to air pollution ‘give birth to smaller babies’

Women exposed to air pollution ‘give birth to smaller babies’

New research has shown that pregnant women exposed to air pollution give birth to smaller babies. Conversely, women living in greener areas have larger offspring — and environment health may help counteract the overall negative effects of pollution on pregnancy, the findings of a study conducted in Northern Europe suggest. “Our results suggest that pregnant … Read more

New study highlights feasibility and optimization of ammonia-based power generation for carbon neutrality

New study highlights feasibility and optimization of ammonia-based power generation for carbon neutrality

Ammonia is emerging as a promising energy source to achieve carbon neutrality due to its inherent carbon-free nature. A recent study, led by Professor Hankwon Lim in the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering and the Graduate School of Carbon Neutrality at UNIST, has evaluated the feasibility of ammonia-based power generation through techno-economic and carbon … Read more

Bees struggle to find flowers because of air pollution

Bees struggle to find flowers because of air pollution

A new study has found that air pollution is preventing pollinators finding flowers because it degrades the scent. A research team comprising the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) and the Universities of Birmingham, Reading, Surrey and Southern Queensland, found that ozone substantially changes the size and scent of floral odour plumes given off … Read more

Artificial intelligence could help build pollen jigsaw of present and ancient flora

Artificial intelligence could help build pollen jigsaw of present and ancient flora

An emerging system which combines rapid imaging with artificial intelligence could help scientists build a comprehensive picture of present and historic environmental change — by swiftly and accurately analysing pollen. Pollen grains from different plant species are unique and identifiable based on their shape. Analysing which pollen grains are captured in samples such as sediment … Read more
