Agricultural Fires and Arctic Climate Change
Over the past century, the Arctic has been warming at nearly twice the rate of the rest of the planet. While increases in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases account for much of this steep warming trend, the Arctic is also highly sensitive to short-lived pollutants – gases and aerosols…

Leaping Before They Looked: Lessons from Europe’s Experience with the 2003 Biofuels Directive
Although the current U.S. focus on boosting biofuel production and usage may be well-intentioned, caution regarding unintended consequences of these policies is warranted. In 2003 the EU issued a Directive promoting the use of biofuels and other renewable fuels for transport. The Directive sought/seeks to have biofuels account for 2%…

No Escape From Diesel Exhaust: How to Reduce Commuter Exposure
Every day, Americans are needlessly sickened from exposure to air pollution in the form of fine particles. Overall, health researchers estimate that fine particles, such as those found in diesel exhaust, shorten the lives of 70,000 Americans each year. Many more suffer the effects of particle-related respiratory and cardiovascular disease….

Water Quality Impacts from Remediating Acid Mine Drainage with Alkaline Addition
Geochemical and thermodynamic theory predict that metals that occur dominantly as oxyanionic species (e.g., arsenic as opposed to zinc) have reduced mobility in an oxidized environment with iron-rich sediments when the pH is moderately acidic (4.6 to 6.0 s.u.), relative to when the pH is neutral or moderately alkaline (7.0…
