All particles that reach the atmosphere cause different chemical reactions. Particles come partly from natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires, and partly from pollution and emissions. Aerosol researcher Johan Friberg studies particles at high altitudes. He fears that the global increase in forest fires could have a significant impact on the ozone layer. “I study the air in the

Donald Trumps bakgrund inom amerikansk wrestling har bäddat för hans politiska karriär. Genom att använda sig av wrestlingens ”kayfabe” – konsten att framställa iscensatta händelser som verkliga – har Trump suddat ut gränserna mellan verklighet och fantasi. Det menar religionsfilosofen Aaron James Goldman. Presidentvalskampanjen 2024 i USA kommer att gå till historien. Inte nog med mordförsöket på

30 years of study of several hundred plots (obsytor) in Swedish forests have followed the developments of forest damage. The result is a unique material about the effects of air pollution on the forest and its ecosystems up to 2013. BECC researcher Cecilia Akselsson, Lund University, has led the evaluation and Per Erik Karlsson, IVL, is one of the other co-authors of the report. Skogsstyrelsen sta

Diabetesforskare vid Lunds universitet har tidigare visat att det är möjligt att dela in diabetes i fem olika grupper med olika sjukdomsutveckling. En ny studie av samma forskare ger ökat stöd för att indelningen kan bli användbar inom sjukvården i framtiden. Forskarna har dessutom gjort nya fynd som visar på skillnader mellan grupperna när det gäller utvecklingen av komplikationer. Många patiente

Researchers at Lund University and University of Gothenburg have produced the most detailed map of carbon emissions from Swedish forest fires to date. The results show that the largest emissions occur below the ground surface, in peat and organic soils. During the extremely hot summer of 2018, 324 forest fires were reported in Sweden. Using field measurements, models, and data from the Swedish For
