The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Associations of Outdoor Air Pollution With Incidence of Cancers Other Than Lung Cancer in a Large US Prospective Cohort

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Associations between outdoor air pollution and cancers other than lung cancer remain unclear, particularly in the context of tobacco use. Here, the authors assessed possible links between ambient air pollutant exposure and incidence of 20 non‐lung cancers among adults followed over a 25‐year period in the United States.
