Oregon-based Birch Biosciences has partnered with the ABF to engineer high-performance enzymes for economical plastic recycling.
Air Quality Monitor Research Helps the Public Take Action to Protect Themselves from Wildfire Smoke
Devastating wildfires have become increasingly routine in the American West. Consumer-priced air monitors have become popular in recent years for checking the level of wildfire smoke exposure. Berkeley Lab scientists compared four such monitors against a research-grade instrument as a reference, and found that these accessible monitors can provide actionable information to help Americans understand how to protect themselves and their families from wildfire smoke.
