A new study conducted by Neil J. Lant and his team at Procter & Gamble’s Newcastle Innovation Center suggests that condenser dryers, while reducing airborne microfibers compared to vented dryers, are significant contributors to waterborne microfiber pollution. The study found that both dryer types produce microfiber pollution, including water pollution from rinsing lint traps in

Recent research has discovered that approximately 700,000 years ago, a “warm ice age” had a permanent effect on the climate cycles on Earth. During this warm and moist period, the polar glaciers expanded. A European research team, including Earth scientists from Heidelberg University, used geological data in combination with computer simulations to identify this unexpected

Three environmental scientists and city planners from the University of California, Berkeley, the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the University of Miami conducted a study on the impact of electric-powered vehicles (EVs) on air quality. The researchers found that the introduction of EVs had a varying impact on air quality in different neighborhoods,
