Pond emission measurements improve climate predictions
There could be billions of shallow lakes and ponds on Earth, though lack of mapping systems makes it hard to know just how many exist. Together, they emit significant amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, but emissions from these systems vary considerably and are not well understood.

New study shows the superior reactive oxygen species removal ability of copper coupled to lysozyme
In aerobic organisms, reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydroxide (OH), singlet oxygen (1O2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and superoxide (O2–) ions are produced during aerobic respiration, which causes serious oxidative damage to biomolecules in the body. Hence, the removal of ROS, particularly O2–, is of primary importance as it reacts with H+ to produce other toxic ROS species like H2O2 and OH.

Using microbial degradation to break down chlorinated PFAS in wastewater
A team of chemical and environmental engineers at the University of California, Riverside, has found a way to use microbial degradation to break down chlorinated PFAS in wastewater. In their paper published in the journal Nature Water, the group describes how they tested the ability of microbes in waste water to degrade some PFAS compounds and what they found by doing so.

Heat-loving marine bacteria can help detoxify asbestos
Asbestos materials were once widely used in homes, buildings, automobile brakes and many other built materials due to their strength and resistance to heat and fire, as well as to their low electrical conductivity. Unfortunately, asbestos exposure through inhalation of small fiber particles has been shown to be highly carcinogenic.
