Research conducted at the National Institute of Chemistry in Ljubljana, Slovenia, has led to a significant advancement in the field of biofuel production. The study, published in Applied Catalysis B-Environment and Energy, presents a comprehensive ab initio multiscale study combining density functional theory and microkinetic batch reactor modeling to elucidate
Diwali
Delhi's celebration of Diwali was a familiar sight, with houses and streets aglow and fireworks lighting up the skies. However, the morning after brought a stark reality - a toxic haze enveloped the city, with pollution levels soaring to "very poor" to "severe" levels.
Pollution control
Despite curbs already in place, Delhi's neighbourhoods breached permissible noise limits on Diwali night, with most areas recording noise levels above prescribed standards. Real-time data from the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) revealed that of the 26 active noise monitoring stations, 23 recorded noise levels above the standard.

Researchers have analyzed the spatiotemporal evolution of ozone (O) production sensitivity in Fujian province from 2005 to 2020, revealing a shift towards a more frequent NOx-limited regime and a less frequent VOC-limited regime. The study used satellite-derived formaldehyde to nitrogen dioxide ratios (FNR) and found that non-coastal cities exhibited greater
Pollution control
Research conducted at Zhejiang University has found that China's national carbon emission trading scheme (ETS) has a positive effect on green innovation capability and efficiency in the power industry. The study employed a differences-in-differences model on firm-level data to assess the causal impact of the ETS on the

Researchers from the University of Vienna have recently published a study that highlights the importance of thorough data analysis in understanding the relationship between socioeconomic drivers and anthropogenic surface water pollution. The study, published in Water Research, demonstrates how data preparation and analysis choices can significantly impact the results of
Pollution control
As environmental pollution worsens in China, the effects on public health are becoming increasingly clear. A recent study has investigated the relationship between urban sewage pollution and health expenditures of residents in 266 Chinese cities between 2012 and 2022. The research, supported by Macau University of Science and Technology Faculty
