Combating the effects of climate change by spraying aerosols into the atmosphere is a contentious topic, with many rightfully pointing out the risk of unintended side effects of such large-scale ...

It’s an idea straight out of science fiction – 'blocking the sun' to cool the atmosphere and curb or even reverse climate change. But research has shown that the hugely controversial idea of solar ...

Spraying aerosols into the atmosphere to reduce global warming is possible, but it will be very costly with current technology. The idea of injecting sulfates into the atmosphere was inspired by major ...

Kimberly Prather, an atmospheric chemist at UC San Diego, is one of 20 scientists being honored by the National Academy of Sciences for extraordinary achievements, it was announced Monday. Prather was ...

Climate ‘geoengineering’ technologies, where particles are sprayed into the stratosphere to deflect more sunlight away from a heating Earth, have a height problem. Recent studies have suggested ...

New insights into the behavior of aerosols from cooking emissions and sea spray reveal that particles may take up more water than previously thought, potentially changing how long the particles remain ...

Washington, DC-- Well-understood physical and chemical processes can easily explain the alleged evidence of a secret, large-scale atmospheric spraying program, commonly referred to as "chemtrails" or ...

Former CIA Director John Brennan did not say that the government is spraying toxic chemicals into the air. Brennan spoke in 2016 at the Council on Foreign Relations about stratospheric aerosol ...

Aerosols and dust are critical components in the air that influence both environmental quality and human health. These particles originate from natural processes—such as wind erosion in deserts, ...

New research has confirmed that coastal water pollution transfers to the atmosphere in sea spray aerosol, which can reach people beyond just beachgoers, surfers, and swimmers. New research led by ...
