soot emissions

Researchers demonstrated that controlled fire whirls can clean oil spills more efficiently and with less pollution compared to traditional methods. The fire tornadoes consumed up to 95% of the oil, reduced soot emissions by 40%, and may prevent spills from affecting sensitive marine habitats.

Scientists conducted an in-flight experiment to study 'lean-burn' contrails, finding that reducing soot emissions may not prevent contrail formation. The research also highlights lessons from scientific fakery.
