Major Science Prize to Nordic Scientists
Marcus Wallenberg Prize awarded for an innovation that improves environmental performance and cost-efficiency in the pulp and paper industry. Finnish scientists Johanna Buchert, Maija Tenkanen, and Tapani Vuorinen and Swedish scientist Anita Teleman, have been awarded a major international technology award, the Marcus Wallenberg Prize. The... view more... (2003-01-16)
Pesticides disrupt farmland bird food chains
Preliminary results are emerging from important new work on the indirect effects of agricultural pesticides on farmland birds in Britain. At the British Ecological Society`s Winter Meeting, at the University of Warwick on 18–20 December 2001, Tony Morris of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) will present early evidence from... view more...

Phthalates are important components of many consumer products, including toys, cleaning materials, plastics, and personal care items. view more (2009-11-20)
Agricultural workers at increased risk for infection with animal flu viruses
Farmers, veterinarians and meat processors who routinely come into contact with pigs in their jobs have a markedly increased risk of infection with flu viruses that infect pigs. view more (2005-11-29)
Industrial contaminants spread by seabirds in High Arctic, new Canadian study shows
Seabirds are the surprising culprits in delivering pollutants - through their guano - to seemingly pristine northern ecosystems, a new Canadian study shows. view more (2005-07-15)
Century-old rule of chemistry overturned -- major implications for drug delivery
A new study by research chemists at the University of Warwick has challenged a century old rule of pharmacology that defined how quickly key chemicals can pass across cell walls. view more (2008-08-26)
Compost heap bacteria could provide 10 percent of UK transport fuel needs
Bacteria found in compost heaps able to convert waste plant fibre into ethanol could eventually provide up 10% of the UK's transport fuel needs, scientists heard today (Tuesday 9 September 2008) at the Society for General Microbiology's Autumn meeting being held this week at Trinity College, Dublin. view more (2008-09-09)
A special pallet
The Bizkaian company, Ekoplast Balenciaga, manufacturer of large, high-thickness plastic parts, has developed and patented, in collaboration with the Gaiker technological centre, a novel support for the handling and transport of coils of sheet steel. Made from 100% recyclable plastics from containers, agricultural film, the recycling also... view more... (2004-10-22)
Antioxidants in Midwestern black raspberries influenced by production site
Black raspberries have been studied for decades by scientists and medical researchers interested in the fruits' apparent ability to limit the onset or severity of degenerative diseases, including cancer. view more (2009-02-27)
Aphids make 'chemical weapons' to fight off killer ladybirds
Cabbage aphids have developed an internal chemical defence system which enables them to disable attacking predators by setting off a mustard oil 'bomb'. view more (2007-07-11)
Amateur boxing linked to brain cell injury
A study of 14 Swedish amateur boxers suggests that they have higher levels of certain chemicals in their cerebrospinal fluid in the days following a bout, indicating injuries to neurons and other cells important to brain function. view more (2006-09-12)
Turning cakes and ale into fertilizer
Many companies, by nature of their business, produce waste material, and what to do with that waste can often cause problems, in terms of both cost and damage to the environment. Now, a Newcastle University research centre has been set up specifically to provide assistance to companies which produce waste materials that have the potential to be... view more... (2000-02-08)
Household chemicals may be linked to infertility
Researchers at the UCLA School of Public Health have found the first evidence that perfluorinated chemicals, or PFCs - chemicals that are widely used in everyday items such as food packaging, pesticides, clothing, upholstery, carpets and personal care products - may be associated with infertility in women. view more (2009-02-02)
Organic corn: Increasing rotation complexity increases yields
While demand for organic meat and milk is increasing by about 20% per year in the United States, almost all organic grain and forage to support these industries in the mid-Atlantic region is imported from other regions. To meet this demand locally, area farmers need information on expected crop yields and effective management options. view more (2008-05-29)
High-value chemicals produced from ethanol feedstocks could boost biorefinery economics
Biorefineries developed to produce ethanol from cellulose sources such as trees and fast-growing plants could get a significant economic boost from the sale of high-value chemicals - such as vanillin flavoring - that could be generated from the same feedstock. view more (2006-09-11)
Cleansing toxic waste -- with vinegar
Engineers and environmental scientists at the University of Leeds are developing methods of helping contaminated water to clean itself by adding simple organic chemicals such as vinegar. view more (2009-03-03)
Ethanol Production Could Jeopardize Soil Productivity
There is growing interest in using crop residues as the feedstock of choice for the production of cellulosic-based ethanol because of the more favorable energy output relative to grain-based ethanol. view more (2009-06-03)
Plants tag insect herbivores with an alarm
Rooted in place, plants can't run from herbivores—but they can fight back. Sensing attack, plants frequently generate toxins, emit volatile chemicals to attract the pest's natural enemies, or launch other defensive tactics. view more (2007-05-10)
Purdue-developed tool can get most pollution control for the money
There may be thousands of things large and small that can be done to better control pollution on even the smallest waterways, and a new tool developed at Purdue University may help sort out how to choose the best ones. view more (2009-06-16)
