NASA TEMPO tracks air pollution in Northeast US during 2026 heat wave | Linxi News (via news.linxi.com.au)

NASA's TEMPO Reveals Daily Air Pollution Pulse Over Northeast Corridor

TEMPO observed high NO2 during morning commute on May 18, 2026 along NY-Washington corridor.
By afternoon, NO2 levels dropped as chemical reactions produced ozone.
Hourly monitoring from geostationary orbit reveals daily pollution cycle.
Data helps improve air quality forecasts and public health advisories.

Fog Is Teeming With Life—But What It Eats Is the Weird Part

Fog-Dwelling Bacteria Eat Formaldehyde Pollution, New Study Reveals

Fog contains up to 10 million bacteria per thimble-sized cup of water.
Methylobacterium bacteria in fog consume formaldehyde as food.
The bacteria grow as fast on formaldehyde as on glucose.
Study suggests fog microbes play a role in atmospheric chemistry.

Short exposures to common air pollutants have distinct impacts on lung function and brain activity, study shows

Short bursts of everyday air pollution can change breathing and brain responses within hours

A double-blind study exposed 15 volunteers to several real-world pollution mixtures and clean air.
Researchers found distinct respiratory and brain-related effects within four hours of exposure.
The study argues that pollution source matters as much as pollutant quantity.

Coal pollution is cutting solar power output worldwide, study finds

Coal plant pollution is quietly erasing a chunk of the world’s solar gains

Researchers mapped more than 140,000 solar PV installations worldwide using satellite data.
Aerosols reduced global solar electricity output by 5.8% in 2023, equal to 111 terawatt-hours of lost energy.
Coal-fired power generation was identified as a major source of the pollution behind those losses.

Scientists discover a mysterious silicone pollutant that may be everywhere

Researchers Trace Widespread Airborne Silicone Pollution to Vehicles and Beyond

Researchers detected large molecular methylsiloxanes in cities, villages, forests and coastal areas.
Vehicle and ship emissions, likely tied to engine-oil additives, appear to be a major source.
The study suggests human exposure may be higher than previously expected for this pollutant class.

China’s Air Cleanup Reached the Arctic, Revealing a Complicated Climate Tradeoff

New research links China’s aerosol cuts to reduced storm-driven Arctic sea-ice loss.
The same reduction in aerosols may also have accelerated broader global warming.
The findings highlight why clean-air policy and greenhouse-gas cuts must be pursued together.
