Air pollution and miscarriage risk Maternal exposure to air pollution is linked to an increased risk of miscarriage. Analysing clinical records in Beijing, China, Zhang and colleagues associate the risk of silent miscarriage, a kind more likely to happen early on in the pregnancy, with levels of PM2.5, sulfur dioxide, ozone and carbon monoxide.

Editor Highlights: Air pollution-induced missed abortion risk for pregnancies A study of over 250,000 pregnant women in Beijing, China, finds that missed abortion is associated with the concentration of four major air pollutants. The association is not linear but becomes stronger with higher concentrations. Mitigating crop yield losses through weed diversity Reducing herbicides exposes crops to yield losses from weeds. This study on winter wheat and barley finds that more even weed populations reduce yield losses by suppressing dominant weeds. Emissions and health impacts from global shipping embodied in US–China bilateral trade International shipping is a major emitter of greenhouse gases, but quantifying responsibilities has been difficult. This study uses satellite-observed data on vessels to determine the emissions from and subsequent health impacts of US–China bilateral trade of goods. Environmental and health co-benefits for advanced phosphorus recovery Agriculture depends critically on phosphorus fertilizer from rock phosphate. This study finds environmental and health benefits from instead recovering phosphorus from secondary sources, such as sewage and manure. Property rights and the protection of global marine resources A global study of fishing near Exclusive Economic Zone boundaries shows that these property rights indeed deter unauthorized fishing.
