New clues to air circulation in the atmosphere
Air circulates above the Earth in four distinct cells, with two either side of the equator, says new research out today (21 August) in Science. view more (2008-08-22)
World's First Degree In Environmental Forensics
Students are about to enroll on the world's first ever degree course in Environmental Forensics. This degree extends the University of Wales, Bangor's excellent reputation for teaching and research in environmental disciplines. In a pro-active move to ensure that the UK has the skills to cope with anticipated changes in environmental legislation,... view more... (2003-09-08)
Dressman - the ironing robot
The main objective of the Dressman robot is to dry and press shirts. On placing a damp shirt on the ironing figure, this dummy inflates with hot air in its interior, and thus puffs the shirt up, removing creases drying the garment (it has to be previously wet and undergone a spin-dry in a washing machine). The device has a heater box inside with... view more... (2004-05-27)
Fresh air for air passengers
Air travellers rarely think about the indoor climate in airport terminals, or about the kitchens where their in-flight meals are prepared. These catering centres are vast, busy facilities, often located in hot, humid climates - posing a challenge to ventilation systems. Air distribution in public areas of airports is another crucial, demanding... view more... (2005-04-07)
China's environmental challenges
It is the most populous country in the world. Half the country is arid or semi-arid and mountains cover three-quarters of it. Natural resources are scarce. view more (2006-09-20)
`Glowing` technique could detect river pollution
New technology used to analyse dissolved organic matter in river water could also help scientists detect and monitor pollution, according to a new research published in the journal Hydrological Processes (1). Dissolved organic matter is found in all river water, and can come from both a natural source such as the soil, as well as human sources... view more... (2002-10-07)
Toxic releases down from North American industry leaders, increasing from other facilities
The latest Taking Stock report from the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) reveals that a continued decline in releases of toxic chemicals to the environment-15 percent for the United States and Canada from 1998 to 2004-is being driven by a group of industrial facilities that are the largest generators of emissions. view more (2007-10-18)
AFCYBER holds science and technology symposium
To help pave the way for future combat operations in the cyber domain, Eighth Air Force Commander Lt Gen. Robert Elder and his staff hosted a meeting at Barksdale AFB in Shreveport, La on July 16-17 to bring together preeminent cyber science and technology experts from across the country. view more (2007-08-15)
The brain, traffic and nano-circuits — e-Science takes on major challenges
Research into three major scientific and technological challenges is to receive a major boost from the application of e-Science and grid computing. view more (2006-07-10)
Pesticides -- easier detection of pollution and impact in rivers
The long-term effects of pesticides on living organisms in rivers and on water quality can now be assessed more easily. view more (2009-09-04)
Airborne mold spores increase kids' risk for multiple allergies
University of Cincinnati (UC) researchers say exposure to a certain group of fungal spores—abundant in the air that we breathe every day—can make young children more susceptible to developing multiple allergies later in life. view more (2006-06-14)
Cranfield publishes second report into low-cost airlines
Low-cost scheduled airlines have revolutionised short-haul air travel, particularly in the UK and Western Europe. The rapid growth of low-cost scheduled carriers in Europe is in sharp contrast to the charter airlines who have seen traffic stagnate or even decline. As the no-frills sector matures, however, a potential over-supply of airline seats... view more... (2003-09-03)
Natural gas nanotech
Nanotechnology could revolutionize the natural gas industry across the whole lifecycle from extraction to pollution reduction or be an enormous missed opportunity, claim two industry experts writing in Inderscience's International Journal of Nanotechnology. view more (2007-10-31)
Environmental pollution increases the risk of liver disease
A new study is the first to show that there is a previously unrecognized role for environmental pollution in liver disease in the general U.S. adult population. view more (2009-05-29)
New research offers prioritization plan for reducing nutrient pollution in feeder streams
To help resource managers improve the health of coastal waters degraded by nutrient pollution, a group of scientists has developed a framework for prioritizing stream restoration efforts aimed at reducing the amount of nitrogen flowing downstream. view more (2008-02-12)
Newly detected air pollutant mimics damaging effects of cigarette smoke
A previously unrecognized group of air pollutants could have effects remarkably similar to harmful substances found in tobacco smoke, Louisiana scientists are reporting in a study scheduled for presentation today at the 236th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society. view more (2008-08-18)
Exposures to metals and diesel emissions in air linked to respiratory symptoms in children
Exposure shortly after birth to ambient metals from residential heating oil combustion and particles from diesel emissions are associated with respiratory symptoms in young inner city children. view more (2009-11-24)
Fighting pollution the poplar way: Trees to clean up Indiana site
Purdue University researchers are collaborating with Chrysler LLC in a project to use poplar trees to eliminate pollutants from a contaminated site in north-central Indiana. view more (2008-01-11)
Mercury in atmosphere could be washed out more easily than earlier believed
Scientists for years have been at a loss to explain unexpectedly high levels of mercury in fish swimming the rivers and streams of areas like eastern Oregon, far away from industrial sources of mercury pollution such as coal-fired power plants. view more (2005-12-08)
'Environmental Forensics' could cut the cost of brownfield development
The emerging scientific discipline of 'Environmental Forensics' could make it easier to prove, to the satisfaction of a court of law, who is responsible for instances of pollution. view more (2006-09-11)
