Scientists based at the University of California in Irvine (UCI) say that gas particles in the atmosphere tend to get sucked up by smog particles, and then remain trapped there for prolonged periods of time.
One of the most interesting implications of this research is that it may provide an accurate, albeit unexpec... |

Studying the quantities of elusive atmospheric chemicals that take part in the formation of photochemical smog can be now enhanced with the development of a new measuring device designed by the U.S. Department of Energy Brookhaven National Laboratory. The instrument has been patented by the U.S. Patent Office, meani... |
