Widespread Poor Air Quality in Germany Due to High PM2.5 Levels
High PM2.5 levels exceeding 50 µg/m³ affect many German regions from the north to the east, due to traffic, heating, industry, and stagnant weather, impacting public health; a western low-pressure system is expected to improve air quality.

Microplastics Found in Antarctic Snow: Study Reveals Widespread Contamination
A new study by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) found microplastics in Antarctic snow near research camps, with concentrations up to 3,099 particles per liter, suggesting previous studies underestimated the problem due to less sensitive detection methods. The microplastics, mostly smaller than 50 ...
