Estimating Atmospheric Ammonia Emission from Manure Applied to Soils for Landscape-Level Simulation: Overview of the Methods and Copernicus Programme Potential

The European Union (EU) and national governments have set clear targets to reduce agricultural emissions, including ammonia from manure spreading practice, with regulations such as the Ambient Air Quality (AQ) and Clean Air Directives, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), and the Green Deal, with implication for ecosystem services and landscape planning, reflecting broader environmental sustainability objectives including those addressed by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Chasing Gamma-Ray Signals from Binary Neutron Star Coalescences with the Cherenkov Telescope Array: Prospects and Observing Strategies

Review on Predictive Models and Integration Strategies for Holistic Impact Assessment of Chemicals and Materials

: Rapid innovation in chemicals and materials calls for innovative integrated approaches that can assess their impacts across different areas. The Safe and Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) framework, developed by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC), offers a comprehensive approach with which to evaluate the safety and sustainability of chemicals and materials across their lifecycle. While SSbD uses various modeling approaches to assess impacts on human health, the environment, a...

Charting exposomethics: a roadmap for the ethical foundations of the human exposome project

Background: The Human Exposome Project (HEP) aims to chart lifelong environmental exposures and their biological consequences, furnishing the environmental counterpart to the genomic revolution. Yet the fine‑grained, multimodal data streams that fuel exposomics-biospecimens, geolocation traces, wearable‑sensor feeds, and socio‑environmental metadata-raise privacy, justice, and governance questions that may exceed the reach of conventional bioethics. Main body: Building on lessons from genomic...
