According to research, new technologies measure airborne mercury pollution far more accurately than the older systems that under-measure mercury concentrations by as much as 80%.

A study by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) has identified high levels of “forever chemicals” in freshwater fish consumed in the United States (U.S.).

Researchers have uncovered the long-sought mechanism of a well-known but poorly understood process that produces solvated electrons via interactions between light and metal.

Researchers have addressed the long-standing question of how benign gut microbes evade the immune system. In doing so, they have also reshaped our understanding of how immune receptors interact with the bacterial motility protein flagellin.

Living in a greener environment has an impact on the composition of oligosaccharides in a mother's breastmilk, which in turn may affect the infant’s health.

The "admissions process" for B cells entering germinal centers to mature during virus infection changes over time. New research has identified why this is.

Researchers have developed a novel catalytic template-assisted interfacial polymerization strategy to prepare a highly permeable acid-resistant nanofiltration membrane for acidic wastewater treatment.

A new study of domestic and hospital drinking water systems found Legionella in 41% of samples – with researchers making a key connection between the pathogen’s co-existence with a "host" microorganism in all samples tested.

A new study finds that when sulfur air pollution fell, farmers replaced this lost airborne nutrient with fertilizer, likely increasing mercury contamination.

A new study suggests that throughout Earth’s history, natural processes propelled measurable geochemical signals from deep inside Earth’s metallic core, all the way to the surface, emerging at what are known as magma “hotspots.”
