Researchers reveal nanoplastic-induced mitochondrial response pathways and metabolic mechanisms in human cells
Plastic particles with a diameter of less than 0.1 μm (nanoplastics (NPs)) have been extensively manufactured and used as engineered nanomaterials in various products, such as numerous consumer and pe...
Researchers publish new results in field of global warming and Madden-Julian Oscillation-induced extreme rainfall
The sixth assessment report of the IPCC indicates low-to-high confidence in trends of extreme rainfall with regional inconsistency in the tropics, where a key phenomenon causing intra-seasonal variati...
Researchers make progress in river winds and their influences on transport of forest volatiles in Amazonia
The Amazon basin hosts many of the world’s longest and widest rivers, such as the Amazon, Negro, and Tapajos rivers. Air circulations in the form of river winds are driven by thermal contrast between ...
Researchers discover that rewetting global wetlands effectively reduces major greenhouse gas emissions
Carbon and nitrogen losses from degraded wetlands and methane emissions from flooded wetlands are both important sources of greenhouse gas emissions. However, the net-exchange dependence on hydrotherm...
Researchers make series of advances in field of environmental toxicology
The increasing consumption, misuse, and release of antibiotics and perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) into the environment have raised global concern about the potential health risks of these environment...

Researchers reveal recent stabilization of nitrous oxide emissions from livestock production in China
Global livestock production is a major source of N2O emissions, accounting for approximately 24-44% of the total global anthropogenic emissions. The consumption of livestock products is projected to i...
Researchers demonstrate efficient atmospheric transport of microplastics over Asia and adjacent oceans
Microplastics (MPs) are small plastic particles<5 mm in size. The rapid accumulation of MPs in the environment has become a severe problem, endangering the health of terrestrial and aquatic biotas....
