More expensive steak, cheaper tomatoes, but the same total cost for the average basket of groceries at the supermarket. A comprehensive study, led by researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden has analysed the potential effects of a food tax shift – where VAT is removed from healthy foods and levies are introduced on foods that have a negative impact on the climate. The study shows that a shift in taxes could have both environmental and human health benefits, and means that 700 fewer people in Sweden would die prematurely each year.

A research team has developed a ferromanganese oxide-modified biochar that achieved exceptional performance in eliminating copper–citrate (CuCA) complexes from contaminated water.

A research team has developed a novel framework to address the growing challenges of ecological security in cold regions, which are particularly vulnerable to the combined impacts of climate change and anthropogenic pressures.

A research team has uncovered significant insights into how crop-specific metabolites influence the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in soil-plant systems.

A research team reveals how iron mineral-Bacillus megaterium (B. megaterium) biofilms function as "biocapacitors," storing solar energy and releasing it in dark environments to degrade harmful contaminants.

A research team has developed a novel approach to studying the dissolution mechanisms of waste glasses, a critical process for predicting the long-term release of contaminants like radionuclides from vitrified waste in geological disposal sites.

A research team reveals that native halophytic plants—species adapted to saline and alkaline environments—can biologically initiate the transformation of toxic bauxite residue (BR), also known as red mud, into early-stage soil.
