Dusty Streets: The Challenge of Dust‐Borne Pollutants in Low‐Income Countries

open access: yesCLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 2, February 2026.
Generally, pollution impacts developed and low‐income countries (LICs) to different extents, and the disease burden due to roadway dust is not uniformly distributed across socio‐economic classes. Roadway dust materials from paved and unpaved urban and rural roads were reported to contain organic constituents which are toxic and affect public health ...

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.
