Indoor Air Pollution

Indoor Air PollutionWhen we think of air pollution, we often imagine smoggy skies or factory smoke, but indoor air pollution can be just as harmful. Air pollutants like dust, mold, chemicals from cleaning products, smoke, and gases like carbon monoxide can build up inside homes, schools, and buildings. Poor ventilation can make the problem worse, leading to health issues like allergies, asthma, or headaches. Learning about indoor air pollution helps us understand where these pollutants come...
Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.
