Analyzing 16 years of race results and air pollution levels, a team of researchers found that poor air quality had a negative effect on marathon times. When the research team assessed the association between fine particulate matter in the air and marathon finish times, they found that greater race-day pollution is associated with slower average marathon finish times. Their findings appear in the journal Sports Medicine.

A new analysis reveals an association between the use of personal care products and concentrations of PFAS in people who were pregnant or lactating. For people who are pregnant or nursing, more use of personal care products is associated with higher detectable levels of synthetic chemicals known to have adverse health effects, researchers found.

A new study shows that a warmer and drier climate will lead to massive losses of tropical plant species. Brown University biologists set out to better understand the effects of climate change on plant species in tropical mountain regions. They found that even small variations in temperature and moisture can have massive impacts, threatening not only plants that live there, but also the ecosystems they support.
