California is rolling out a $1 billion point-of-sale incentive for battery-electric commercial trucks, targeting one of the most polluting parts of road transport with rebates that reach as high as $120,000 per vehicle.

A controlled U.K. study found that just four hours after exposure, common pollution sources produced distinct effects on respiratory function and brain activity, reinforcing concerns about the lung-brain connection in a

A new satellite-based analysis finds airborne particles cut global solar power generation by 5.8% in 2023, turning coal pollution into a direct drag on the clean-energy transition.

New research from McMaster University links daily exposure to fine-particle air pollution from traffic, industry and wildfire smoke to poorer brain function, broadening concern beyond the lungs and heart.

Scientists detected unexpectedly high levels of airborne methylsiloxanes across cities, villages and forests, suggesting a poorly understood silicone pollutant may be far more pervasive than assumed.

New research suggests China’s steep cuts to aerosol pollution reduced storm-driven Arctic sea-ice loss, while also exposing a broader tension between cleaner air and the way aerosols mask global warming.
