Methane
Freshwater wetlands in high latitude regions are significant contributors to global methane emissions, a new study reveals. The research, conducted by a team of scientists from the University of Alaska Anchorage, highlights the impact of climate change on these ecosystems, causing alterations in biogeochemical inputs. The study found that glacial
Global warming
Human activities have led to a significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), which trap heat and warm the planet. The burning of fossil fuels in factories, vehicles, and power plants, as well as industrial processes and transportation, are among the
Global warming
Global warming is causing Arctic permafrost to degrade, posing significant risks to the construction of facilities and leading to increased emissions of greenhouse gases. Research conducted by the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) has found that methane emitted from thawing permafrost may be released by dissociation of intrapermafrost
Air pollution
Prof. Mizeck Chagunda, Director of the Centre for Tropical Livestock Genetics and Health (CTLGH), said that the organization is employing innovative techniques to measure methane emissions from livestock and develop more precise classification to improve mitigation strategies. CTLGH is using genetic research to enable purpose-bred animals that are more productive,
Air pollution
A recent study published in Nature Geoscience by a collaborative team including researchers from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has shed light on the mechanisms behind the extreme global warming and ocean acidification during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). The research reveals that changes in ocean
Air pollution
A new research study conducted by experts at Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman, Iran, has shed light on the complex relationships between diet ingredients, production traits, and methane emissions in dairy cattle. Through advanced data analysis techniques and machine learning models, the researchers explored the impact of various factors on
Air pollution
Recent studies published in the Tropical Animal Health and Production journal have made a significant contribution to the understanding of global warming and climate change by evaluating the effects of African catfish waste silage supplemented with probiotics on in vitro rumen fermentation characteristics and greenhouse gas emissions. Researchers from Bayero
Air pollution
Research conducted at Kunming University and published in the Catalysis Science & Technology journal has provided new insights into the deactivation mechanism and suppression strategies of Pd-based catalysts for methane oxidation. The study highlights recent advances in understanding the causes of catalyst deactivation, influencing factors, and inhibition strategies, offering theoretical
Global warming
Recent research has been published on the effects of seaweed extracts on rumen fermentation, nutrient digestibility, and methane emissions in beef heifers. The study, conducted by the Lethbridge Research and Development Centre, found that whole Ascophyllum nodosum and a seaweed extract generated from Himanthalia elongata did not demonstrate anti-methanogenic activity
Air pollution
In a breakthrough study, researchers from Aswan University have designed a low-cost, automated monitoring and control unit (AMCU) for small-scale poultry operations. The IoT-based system, which integrates with Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) for communication, can measure key environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, ammonia, and methane in real-time,
Air pollution
The Trump administration's efforts to relax pollution rules have been complicated by a report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, detailing the strongest evidence to date that carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases are threatening human health. The report contradicts the administration's
Air pollution
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is accepting applications for the Clean Fleet Vehicle and Technology Grant Program from September 15 to October 24, 2025. This program aims to reduce air pollution and address climate change by supporting the transition of fleet vehicles to low-emission and zero-emission options.
