A new study by scientists at the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science provides a new way to estimate how much of the ocean’s pollution is raining down from the sky. These new findings can help improve scientific understanding of how toxic airborne chemicals, from industrial processes, are impacting the earth’s [...]
