Currently, people in the urban areas of Germany’s Bavarian Forest suffer from high levels of air pollution caused by automobiles, and, in particular, nitrogen oxides (NOx). To combat this issue, the European Union has made the upper limit values more stringent than ever, but many communities still are far exceeding these parameters. Areas of high […]

Every year, scientists learn something new about the power of lightning. With the helps of the satellites they have created a lightning map for the globe, which shows that Rwanda has the most flashes per square kilometer, while the flashes at the polar regions occur rarely. Every year, 1,2 million flashes occur around the world.
