The exhaust from airplanes contains small particles called aerosols. These particles act as a “landing zone” for the molecules in water vapor. Under the right conditions, the water molecules come ...

Engineers in South Korea developed a bioinspired air filter that mimics nasal mucus, trapping more particles and lasting ...

A new real-time monitoring system captures minute-by-minute changes in toxic metals resulting from traffic pollution.

One of the problems of conventional filters used in homes, businesses and public spaces is their poor performance. They rely ...

Have a lukewarm shower: A freezing cold shower may seem tempting, but lukewarm is the way to go, according to Nerina. Getting ...

But analysis found the pulses discovered under the ice in Antarctica are ‘anomalous’ meaning they did not match standard particle physics. The Pennsylvania State University is now developing a more ...

From about the end of May through the beginning of July strong winds lift the dust, composed of tiny particles of sand and minerals, into atmosphere known as the Saharan Air Layer.

A pioneering method to simulate how microscopic particles move through the air could boost efforts to combat air pollution, a study suggests.

Tech & Science Global air pollution data: Particles match poverty Only seven countries met the WHO annual average PM2.5 guideline of 5 μg/m3.

Air purifiers are equipped with advanced technologies that effectively filter out harmful particles, neutralise odours, and eliminate airborne pathogens.

Tiny Airborne Particles Within Air Pollution Could Be a Silent Killer Ultrafine particles stem from a variety of natural and human-made sources, including vehicle exhaust.

Ultrafine particles are approximately one-thousandth the width of a human hair. But because of their tiny size, they are easily inhaled – and typically more dangerous than larger particles.
