Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (Berkeley Lab) and the University of Hawaii have provided direct experimental evidence for the validity of a proposed mechanism for the first step in the process that transforms gas-phase molecules into solid particles such as soot and other carbon-based compounds.

Another study by Assoc Prof Salvo that was published in 2018 found that households consumed more water from the grid when exposed to air pollution. In terms of research design, the study had to contend with the fact that air pollution is not only a driver of electricity demand but also a product of fossil-fuel based electricity generation.

A little sun, plus some oxygen and water, is enough to keep a plant going strong. The aim is to pull the carbon dioxide from the air and, using a catalyst, generate a cleaner alternative to the fossil fuels on which we so greatly depend. For eons, leaves have been creating the fuel that plants run on virtually out of thin air.
