Humans Disrupting Natural 'Salt Cycle' on Global Scale
TEHRAN (ANA)- A new paper by scientists at the University of Maryland revealed that human activities are making Earth's air, soil and freshwater saltier, which could pose an 'existential threat' if current trends continue.
Climate-Driven Extreme Heat May Make Parts of Earth Too Hot for Humans
TEHRAN (ANA)- If global temperatures increase by 1 degree Celsius (C) or more than current levels, each year billions of people will be exposed to heat and humidity so extreme they will be unable to naturally cool themselves, according to interdisciplinary research from the Penn State College of Health and Human Development, Purdue University College of Sciences and Purdue Institute for a Sustainable Future.
Developing Organic Nitrogen Fertiliser to Enhance Agriculture Production
TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers from Flinders University are investigating organic nitrogen fertiliser to return nitrogen to soil without the need for chemicals.
Iran-Made Reactor Converts Polluting Gases of Plants into Safe Gases
TEHRAN (ANA)- A group of Iranian researchers designed and produced a reactor capable of breaking down the polluting gases of plants into safe gases.
Billions at Risk of Extreme Temperatures Surpassing Human Tolerance
TEHRAN (ANA)- If global temperatures rise by 1°C or more, billions will face extreme heat and humidity, hindering natural cooling, according to new research by the Penn State College.
First-of-Its-Kind Global Smoke Pollution Study Uncovers Alarming Results
TEHRAN (ANA)- A study, the first of its kind, by Monash University analyzed the global rise in pollution from landscape fires over two decades and discovered that over 2 billion people experience at least one day of health-related environmental risks yearly, with this figure growing by 6.8% in the last decade.
Scientists Unravel Global Impact of Droughts, Heatwaves on Water Use
TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers from Utrecht University have uncovered that heatwaves have a more pronounced effect on sectoral water usage compared to droughts.
Massive Accumulation of Heat Stress in Summer 2023
TEHRAN (ANA)- In 2023, rising sea temperatures, amplified by human activities and El Niño, threatened coral reefs, especially around Florida, Cuba, and the Bahamas.
Harvard Scientists Expose Alarming Cancer Threat from ‘Safe’ Levels of Air Pollution
TEHRAN (ANA)- A study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that older adults exposed to PM2.5 and NO2 air pollutants over a decade face increased risks of colorectal and prostate cancers, noting that even at low pollution levels, there’s an elevated risk for breast, endometrial, and the aforementioned cancers.
