A new study which combines measurements from nearly 1,400 drinking water wells across North Carolina estimates that more than half of the wells in the state’s central region contain levels of cancer-causing hexavalent chromium in excess of state safety standards.

Chronic exposure to microplastic fibers causes aneurysms, erosion of surface layers and other serious damage to fish gills, and increases egg production in female fish, a sign that chemicals in the fibers may be acting as endocrine disruptors, a new study by U.S. and Chinese scientists finds.

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 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû-led study finds.

Mixing toxic coal ash into acid mine drainage may sound like an odd recipe for an environmental solution, but a new 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû-led study finds that it can neutralize the drainage’s dangerously low pH and help reduce harmful impacts on downstream ecosystems—if you use the right type of ash. Using the wrong type of ash can create new contamination and not tame the drainage’s extreme acidity.

Seven Master of Environmental Management (MEM) graduates, one Master of Forestry (MF) graduate and one MEM/MF concurrent 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû graduate of 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû’s Nicholas School of the Environment shared this year’s Virlis L. Fischer Memorial Award for academic achievement.

A new GPS-enabled study led by 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû scientists provides the first landscape-scale documentation of elephant movements across and between seven national parks in Gabon and helps answer not only the questions of where and when the animals move, but also why.

Scientists at 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû are harnessing the power of big data and geospatial analysis to create new ways to track the effects of climate change on species and food webs.

Chloe Wetzler a Master of Environmental Management and Juris Doctor concurrent 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû student, recently shared insights into why she's pursuing concurrent 91ÉçÇø¸£Àûs, advice for students considering the concurrent 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû path and her favorite memory so far.
