Environmental governance in the face of collapse: The case of Acapulco, Mexico, between tourist splendour and ecological risk

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Underwater clean‐up efforts in Acapulco Bay reveal the visible consequences of chronic coastal pollution. This study shows how Environmental Risk Assessments (ERAs) can integrate scientific evidence, regulatory frameworks and practitioner experience to identify pollution sources and guide more effective coastal governance in cities of the Global South.

Mitigating light pollution impacts on arthropods based on light‐emitting diode properties

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Light pollution from artificial light at night (ALAN) is a significant environmental problem with far‐reaching consequences for ecological systems. Recent innovations in light‐emitting diode (LED) technology may offer sustainable outdoor lighting solutions, but scientific evidence is lacking. We investigated the effects of various LED lighting

Integrated Assessment of Indoor Air Pollution and Associated Health Risks in a Hemodialysis Unit

Indoor Air, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Indoor air quality (IAQ) is critical for protecting occupant health, particularly in healthcare settings such as hemodialysis (HD) units, where patients spend prolonged periods indoors. This study assessed IAQ in an HD treatment room over 1 year, identified pollutant sources using indoor/outdoor (I/O) ratios, and evaluated associated health risks for ...

Environmental racism and air pollution: Pre and post the COVID‐19 economic shutdown

Review of Policy Research, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 949-981, July 2025.
Abstract Decades of research demonstrates that minoritized groups are disproportionately affected by swathes of harmful pollutants, including air pollution, even controlling for low income. Would significantly reducing individual car traffic help reduce the EJ gap?
