3 Questions: Can disused croplands help mitigate climate change?

Abandoned croplands represent an opportunity for carbon sequestration, but more research is needed to identify the most promising areas.

Study: Shutting down nuclear power could increase air pollution

An MIT study shows that if U.S. nuclear power plants are retired, the burning of coal, oil, and natural gas to fill the energy gap could cause more than 5,000 premature deaths.

Low-cost device can measure air pollution anywhere

MIT researchers have made an open-source version of the “City Scanner” mobile pollution detector that lets people check air quality anywhere, cheaply. Pictured are some examples of the latest version of the device, called Flatburn, as well as a researcher attaching a prototype to a car.

Study: Smoke particles from wildfires can erode the ozone layer

An MIT study finds that smoke particles in the stratosphere can trigger chemical reactions that erode the ozone layer — and that smoke particles from Australian wildfires widened the ozone hole by 10 percent in 2020. This map shows the size and shape of the ozone hole over the South Pole on Oct. 5, 2022.

MIT Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy

Emissions from coal-fired power plants increase atmospheric concentrations of climate-destabilizing greenhouse gases and health-damaging air pollutants. Combined climate/air-quality policies could help reduce those concentrations and improve public health.
