PubMed | Researchers have developed GEE-MEGAN, a satellite-driven, cloud-native model that improves fine-scale estimates of biogenic volatile organic compound emissions, revealing up to 25-fold higher urban levels and sharper accuracy in human-impacted ecosystems.

AZoCleantech | A new industry eBook from Thermo Fisher Scientific highlights cutting-edge advances in clean technology—from renewable hydrogen and carbon capture to EV trends and sustainable materials—positioning innovation as key to building a greener future.

The New Indian Express | Air pollution now cuts the average Indian’s life expectancy by 3.5 years, surpassing the toll of malnutrition and unsafe water, with residents of Delhi-NCR facing losses of more than eight years due to extreme PM2.5 levels, according to new University of Chicago data.

Insurance Journal | Canada’s unprecedented 2023 wildfire season drove particulate pollution to levels not seen in over a decade across North America, erasing years of clean-air progress and underscoring how fossil fuel–driven climate change is amplifying health risks worldwide.

Surfrider Foundation | A new UCSD and SDSU study finds that sewage-driven hydrogen sulfide emissions in the Tijuana River Valley have created dangerous nighttime air pollution levels in South San Diego, posing severe health risks for nearby communities until emergency water diversions reduced exposures by 95%.

Georgia State University News | A new Nature Communications study shows that droughts in Latin America force a shift from hydropower to fossil fuel plants, driving spikes in PM₂.₅ pollution that cause up to 10,600 premature deaths annually—costs expected to rise sharply without clean energy storage and targeted plant retirements.

C&EN – American Chemical Society | Scientists warn that current Air Quality Index (AQI) metrics can underestimate risks after wildfires in urban areas, since hazardous gases and toxic dust from burned materials are not included—highlighting the need to expand monitoring beyond the six regulated pollutants.

Carnegie Mellon University | Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed a polymer-coated MXene sensor that lasts over twice as long and more accurately detects harmful formaldehyde indoors, offering a low-cost tool to improve indoor air quality and health.

Georgia Today | Georgia’s National Environment Agency reports that desert dust drifting from the northeast has raised PM10 and PM2.5 levels in Eastern Georgia since late July, prompting continued monitoring and public health advisories.

CBS News | A lightning-sparked Everglades wildfire that merged into a 48,000-acre blaze in western Broward County has been fully contained after a week of firefighting, with smoke impacts easing as air quality returned to safe levels.
