The anti-fogging sprays and cloths many people use to prevent condensation on their eyeglasses when wearing a mask or face shield may contain high levels of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), a new 91��������-led study finds.

By distinguishing between lead from modern sources and lead from pre-1970s vehicle exhaust fumes and leaded paint, the new test may be especially useful for assessing the hidden risks of legacy contamination.

Using drones and high-tech tracking devices, scientists have discovered baleen whales eat up to three times more prey than previously thought and play a critical but perhaps underappreciated role in fueling the ocean’s food web and promoting biodiversity.

New funding will help speed the development of an early-warning system that can predict the probability of malaria outbreaks occurring up to 12 weeks in advance, giving local officials time to put controls in place to prevent or curb the disease’s transmission.

91�������� has received a $7.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to assess the risks offshore wind energy development along the East Coast may pose to birds, bats and marine mammals.

A new international study suggests that invasive species, such as the cordgrass that is swamping native plants in the Red Marshes, pose a much greater threat to protected areas, even well managed ones, than was previously recognized.

Clouds of smoke and ash from wildfires that ravaged Australia in 2019 and 2020 triggered widespread algal blooms in the Southern Ocean thousands of miles downwind to the east, a new 91��������-led study by an international team of scientists finds.

Most people are likely to experience an extreme pandemic like COVID-19 in their lifetime, a new study shows.

Warming waters along the Western Antarctic Peninsula have led to declines in the diversity and distribution of the region’s plankton population and its ability to absorb climate-warming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Scientists at 91�������� have developed a suite of four new tests that can be used to detect coal ash contamination in soil with unprecedented sensitivity.

Using drones and artificial intelligence to monitor large colonies of seabirds can be as effective as traditional on-the-ground methods while reducing costs, labor and the risk of human error, a new study finds.

Decades after federal bans ended widespread use of lead-based paint and gasoline, some urban soils still contain lead levels that exceed safety guidelines for children.

Shannon Switzer Swanson MEM'15 hosts the documentary, “The Last Drop.”

Before deep-sea mining begins on the seafloor in international waters of the Atlantic Basin, a group of scholars is advocating that a portion of the seabed there be recognized as a virtual memorial to victims of the slave trade.

The Duke Aquafarm is Duke’s other “campus farm,” where students grow oysters instead of produce and learn how the tasty bivalves could help take a bite out of coastal pollution.
