Study Finds Industrial Aerosols May Cause Local Snowfall by Freezing Clouds

ByNews Polite

Research led by the University of Tartu has revealed a potential link between industrial air pollution and localised snowfall. Observations using both satellite and ground-based radar indicate that industrial facilities across North America, Europe, and Asia may trigger local snowfall by causing ice to form in supercooled clouds. This phenomenon,…

Bio-Based Fibres Might Be A Bigger Environmental Threat Than Plastics, New Study Finds

ByNews Polite

A recent study has suggested that bio-based fibres, often marketed as environmentally friendly replacements for plastics, may pose greater ecological threats than previously assumed. Conducted by the University of Plymouth and the University of Bath as part of the £2.6 million BIO-PLASTIC-RISK project, the research reveals that these fibres, used…
