Premature deaths rise during long-term blackouts, and ERs fill up. Knowing who is at risk and some creative solutions can help.
For many drivers, the question is no longer whether an EV could work for them – it is simply a matter of when.
From beetles to sustainable packaging – one failure in the lab led to a new line of promising research.
The federal government needs to drop the spin and get on with the hard work of addressing biodiversity loss.
The damage from military attacks on cities can fill the air with pollutants that harm the lungs and stress the heart.
Joint research conducted by INRS and the Abitibiwinni First Nation shows how traces of DNA in the snow make it possible to track wildlife without disturbing it.
