A Yale University study found that the desulfurization of jet fuel could have a small, net cooling effect on the atmosphere. While the Federal Aviation Administration has encouraged the use of desulfurized jet fuel to potentially improve air quality in airports and reduce risk of respiratory and cardiovascular illness, the Yale study points to another beneficial effect.

Researchers at Yale University have found an alarming amount of carbon is being released into the atmosphere by rivers and streams in the United States – around enough to fuel 3.4 million car trips to the moon. The researchers found that a significant amount of carbon thought to be stored in land, by being absorbed and stored by plants and forests through the air, is leaking into streams and rivers and then released into the atmosphere.

Researchers from Kyoto University discovered a new inexpensive device using polymer material that can detect carbon dioxide. The team of researchers created a device capable of fast and accurate detection of specific gases under various circumstances. Moreover, the device is reusable and gives off variable degrees of visible light in correspondence with different gas concentrations, providing for the development of easy to use monitoring devices.

A study conducted by researchers from the University of Cincinnati and the University of California, Irvine has shown that wastewater recycling processes generate more greenhouse gases than traditional water treatment processes. The researchers found that different wastewater treatments produce nitrous oxide, which is a long-lived and potent greenhouse gas that has a warming potential of 300 times than carbon dioxide.
