Local in Melbourne's north says recycling plant odour 'a form of torture'
By Melissa Brown

A urban planning expert says Victoria's industrial zoning laws are outdated and that operations like Visy's paper recycling plant in Reservoir may no longer be appropriate so close to housing.

Sampling of 32 instances of fog produced by radiational cooling over land found that droplets were enriched in *Methylobacterium* species, which were apparently metabolically active and rapidly degrading formaldehyde in the atmosphere.

Fog Is Teeming With Life, And It May Be Doing Us a Surprising Favor

There's something living in the fog – but you'll be glad to know that it's mostly friendly.

It has been a month since our paper on the bibliometric landscape of air
pollution research has been accepted and published in IOP Publishing Environmental Research: Health. If you haven't read it, just take a few minutes to look at the figures.

Where does your research is located in the air pollution research landscape? Is your work part of emerging research topics?

In the study, we retrieved more 100 000 papers from PubMed, and analyzed them using text analysis and topic modelling of article MeSH terms, titles or abstracts to examine how research on the health effects of air pollution has evolved over time. We map historical and emerging research themes, illustrate regional topic preferences, and identify areas where important knowledge gaps remain.

The paper's code and data are available online (links in the paper).
