This is an editorial on climate change that is being published simultaneously by 100+ health care journal to marshal collective action to tackle the global environmental crisis. We—the editors of health journals worldwide—call for urgent action to keep average global temperature increases below 1.5°C and halt the destruction of nature.

Pore-Controllable Synthesis of Phthalic Acid-Derived Hierarchical Activated Carbon for Dilute CO Capture.

Inorg Chem

December 2024

Textile Pollution Controlling Engineering Center of Ministry of Ecology and Environment, College of Environmental Science and Engineering, Donghua University, Shanghai 201620, China.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) from dilute sources is an important strategy for stabilizing the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide and global temperature. However, the adsorption process is extremely challenging due to the sluggish diffusion rate of dilute CO. Herein, -phthalic acid (PTA)-derived hierarchical porous activated carbon (PTA-C) with abundant micro- and mesopores was successfully prepared for dilute CO (2 vol %) capture at ambient conditions.

Nitrate-Photolysis Shortens the Lifetimes of Brown Carbon Tracers from Biomass Burning.

Environ Sci Technol

December 2024

State Ecology and Environment Scientific Observation and Research Station for the Yangtze River Delta at Dianshan Lake, Shanghai Environmental Monitoring Center, Shanghai 200030, China.

Biomass burning is an important source of brown carbon (BrC) aerosols, which influence climate by affecting the Earth's radiative balance. However, the transformation pathways of BrC chromophores, especially in the presence of photochemically active species, such as nitrate, are not well understood. In this study, the nitrate-mediated aqueous-phase photooxidation of three typical BrC chromophores from biomass burning was investigated, including 4-nitrocatechol, 3-nitrosalicylic acid, and 3,4-dinitrophenol.

Quantifying the Interactions and Cumulative Effects of Multiple Stressors on Salmonids.

Environ Manage

December 2024

Institut national de la recherche scientifique, Centre Eau Terre Environnement, 490 rue de la Couronne Street, Quebec City, QC, G1K9A9, Canada.

The cumulative effects of human activities and natural pressures pose significant threats to ecosystem functioning and global biodiversity. Assessing the cumulative impact of multiple stressors-whether acting simultaneously or sequentially and directly or indirectly-is challenging due to their complex interactions. Consequently, these interactions may be unintentionally overlooked or disregarded in management decisions.

Previous research on the link between temperature and prosociality has produced mixed findings. A recent meta-analysis focusing on laboratory-based research concluded that the effect was null, a conclusion that was subject to low ecological validity. This paper complements the discussion by investigating the link between ambient temperature and three indicators of real-life prosociality in 164 regions over 14 years.
