Lessons from COVID-19 and Seoul: Effects of Reduced Human Activity from Social Distancing on Urban CO2 Concentration and Air Quality by Hayoung Park, Sujong Jeong, Ja-Ho Koo, Sojung Sim, Yeon Bae, Yeonsoo Kim, Chaerin Park, Jeongyeon Bang

“…Abstract Social restriction in cities to curb infection rates of COVID-19 has become an opportunity to investigate the relationship between humans and the urban atmosphere. We evaluate the impact of the decline in human activities as a result of social distancing on the urban CO2 concentrations and air quality in Seoul during February and March of 2020 compared to 2019. …”

Wetlands as a Tool for Water Treatment by Jay Capasso, Lisa Krimsky, Jehangir Bhadha

“… Wetlands are often referred to as "nature's kidneys" because of their ability to remove pollutants from water via storage in the soil and vegetation, as well as through losses to the atmosphere. This 7-page fact sheet written by Jay Capasso, Lisa Krimsky, and Jehangir Bhadha and published by the UF/IFAS School of Forest Resources and Conservation provides a general overview of the function and structure of large-scale treatment wetlands and the services they provide. …”

Conserving Urban Wildlife in the Face of Climate Change by Daniel Feinberg, Mark Hostetler

“…Virtually all climatologists agree that humans are increasing the rate of the Earth’s warming by releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. But you might be surprised to learn that houses and residential neighborhoods are sources greenhouse gases of carbon because everything in a house that runs on electricity or gas is often derived from burning fossil fuels. …”

Evaluation of an aquatic liverwort and terrestrial moss as biomonitors of heavy metals associated with particulate matter by Clara Gómez-Ensastegui, Pedro Avila-Pérez, José Luis García-Rivas, Carlos Eduardo Barrera-Díaz, Huemantzin Balan Ortiz-Oliveros, Sonia Martínez-Gallegos

“…Abstract In this study, the capacity of the aquatic liverwort Ricciocarpus natans L. and the terrestrial moss Entodon serrulatus Mitt. as biomonitors of heavy metals associated with particulate matter from a highly polluted urban area was evaluated, and concentrations in moss tissues were correlated with concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 present in the atmosphere. The two species were exposed by the moss bag technique to the pollution of the Toluca Valley Metropolitan Area (TVMA) for two periods of 6 months, using the sites of the Automatic Atmospheric Monitoring Network of the Government of the State of Mexico, and were subsequently analyzed using elemental and structural characterization techniques. …”

Ocean Acidification: An Introduction by Joshua T. Patterson, Lisa S. Krimsky

“…Ocean acidification is caused primarily by the oceanic uptake of excess carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Other impacts related to climate change (increased sea level rise, coastal flooding and extreme weather events) often receive more attention than OA, but the acidification of the Earth’s oceans is well documented and is a major concern for the marine science community. …”

Reducing Fumigant Application Rates and Soil Emissions with Plastic Mulch Technology by Joseph W. Noling

“…The use of higher-barrier, gas-impermeable mulches may make it possible to reduce fumigant application rates by helping to contain the fumigant longer within the soil and reduce overall emissions into the atmosphere. The results of field studies show that fumigant application rates can be reduced by 20 to as much as 40% through the use of virtually impermeable or the more gas-tight TIF mulch films at the time of application. …”
