Companies withhold studies of potential harm from pesticides
One in four industry-funded studies examining the potential harm from pesticides on the developing brain were not shared with EU authorities by the manufacturers. This finding raises concern about the reliability of EU safety evaluations…
Aerosol demasking enhances climate warming over South Asia – a potential climate overshoot process
In a new publication, observational constraints showed that removing aerosol air pollution led to climate warming (from Greenhouse Gases, GHG) over South Asia (aerosol demasking of climate warming). The international team, led by ACES Prof.…
Rendezvous for icebreaker Oden at the Arctic Sea
When there is a will, there is a way, as the saying goes, was what researchers from Stockholm University who participate in the Arctic expedition ARTofMELT 2023 recently came to realize right at the start…
