Observations confirm that aerosols formed from plant emitted compounds can make clouds brighter

An observational study by Finnish research groups confirms a prevailing theory that volatile organic compounds emitted by vegetation form atmospheric aerosols which make clouds more reflective. Brighter clouds reduce the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth’s surface, thereby cooling the surface. Emissions of organic compounds from vegetation increase with increasing temperature, thus having the

How to quantify and minimize the risk of airborne COVID-19 transmission in football arenas?

In many ways the large inflatable arenas that are commonly used in football are more resembling outdoor conditions than indoor duet to their size, volume, and effective ventilation. However, in Covid-regulations these are considered indoor areas and thus regulations for number of people using these facilities are very tight. Also, football is a contact game
