What a decade of ocean plankton pollution reveals about human chemistry
A ten-year study of Atlantic plankton reveals that while bans have reduced older pollutants, a fresh wave of plastic and tyre chemical substitutes has taken their place.

Tracking the drifting haze of marine PM2.5 over eastern seas
Using satellite data and machine learning, researchers successfully mapped offshore fine particle pollution over the eastern China seas from 2019 to 2024. The model revealed clear seasonal patterns and confirmed that coastal smog drifts directly out across open water.
