How does sodium phosphate combined with bisacodyl affect small intestine?
Capsule endoscopy is a well accepted tool for evaluation of small bowel pathologies (e.g., bleeding sources). However, it has some limitations due to restricted recording time and reduced visibility by air and residual material. View More (2008-05-21)
Pollution, everyday allergens, may be sources of laryngitis
Everyday exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, allergens, and air pollution may be the root of chronic cases of laryngitis, says new research presented at the 2008 American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) Annual Meeting & OTO EXPO in Chicago, IL. View More (2008-09-22)
CU-Boulder study suggests air quality regulations miss key pollutants
A new study led by the University of Colorado at Boulder reveals that air quality regulations may not effectively target a large source of fine, organic particle pollutants that contribute to hazy skies and poor air quality over the Los Angeles region. View More (2008-09-25)
European research effort improves understanding of impacts of aerosols on climate
Atmospheric aerosol particles (otherwise known as Particulate Matter) have been masking the true rate of greenhouse gas induced global warming during the industrial period. View More (2011-06-30)
Night games in sports stadiums and street lighting can cause spike in daytime ozone air pollution
Brightly-lit Cowboys Stadium during Sunday's Super Bowl XLV may symbolize one of the hottest new pieces of scientific intelligence about air pollution: Researchers have discovered - in a classic case of scientific serendipity - that the bright light from sports stadiums and urban street lights may boost daytime levels of ozone, a key air pollutant in many heavily populated areas.

Seat belts offer more protection than air bags
Driver air bags offer relatively little benefit in road vehicle crashes compared with seat belts, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. Researchers in the United States identified all passenger vehicles that crashed during 1990-2000 in which the driver or passenger, or both, died. A sample of 51,031 driver-passenger pairs was analysed to estimate the association of driver air bags with driver... View More (2002-05-07)
Carnegie Mellon researchers apply new statistical test
Carnegie Mellon University's Cliff I. Davidson, Joseph B. Kadane and Nanjun Chu have found that polluted air in the highly populated East End areas of Pittsburgh are more affected by major sources to the city's southeast than previously thought. View More (2009-03-18)
Improved air quality during Beijing Olympics could inform pollution-curbing policies
The air in Beijing during the 2008 Olympics was cleaner than the previous year's, due to aggressive efforts by the Chinese government to curtail traffic, increase emissions standards and halt construction in preparation for the games, according to a Cornell study. View More (2009-07-27)
New model could help fill data gap in predicting historical air pollution exposure
In a study that analyzed relationships between air quality and unemployment levels, a Tufts University researcher has developed a new statistical model that retrospectively estimates air pollution exposure for previous time periods where such information is not available. View More (2012-09-13)
Ventilation is essential for kitchens with gas cookers, says safety expert
Gas cookers emit ultra-fine particles and other compounds that pollute the indoor atmosphere. Householders are urged, therefore, to ensure that their kitchens are properly ventilated, preferably using extract cooker hoods or extract fans. This important advice was given by Professor Gary Raw from the Building Research Establishment at a symposium this week hosted by the Institute of Biology in... View More (1999-10-27)
Commission satellite project detects urban air pollution from space
Fine particulate matter is now one of the biggest threats to human health from air pollution. A new technique to monitor the concentration of particulate matter in urban air, using satellite-borne sensors, offers a much more cost-effective approach than traditional land-based monitoring. The first trials of this system, developed by 11 partners in the European Commission-funded ICAROS-NET... View More (2002-10-04)
Fighting pollution by forecasting the future
EUREKA project E! 2634 EUROENVIRON TEAP (Tool Evaluating Air quality impact of air Pollution) has created a real-time software solution to provide pollution forecasts for industrial plants, cities and air quality authorities. It will change the way pollution is dealt with and is set to increase the lead partner's turnover by 25%. View More (2004-11-02)
Forest fires a huge cost to health
Forest fires don't just have an impact on the environment, but on human health, according to a new study from the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada,which attempted to put a pricetag on the actual economic losses caused by one such fire. View More (2006-08-11)
Morning-after spike in ozone air pollution from Super Bowl XLV?
Not even the most avid fans could notice, but those spectacular aerial images of a brightly-lit Cowboys Stadium during Sunday's Super Bowl XLV symbolize one of the hottest new pieces of scientific intelligence about air pollution. View More (2011-02-04)
Chicken house attics can be tapped to warm broilers
Reducing the cost of keeping broiler chickens warm could result from research by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists and university cooperators. View More (2010-03-23)
Scientists expect wildfires to increase as climate warms in the coming decades
As the climate warms in the coming decades, atmospheric scientists at Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and their colleagues expect that the frequency of wildfires will increase in many regions. View More (2009-07-29)
Commercial cooking elevates hazardous pollutants in the environment
As you stroll down restaurant row and catch the wonderful aroma of food - steaks, burgers, and grilled veggies - keep this in mind: You may be in an air pollution zone. View More (2010-03-24)
Houseplants cut indoor ozone
Ozone, the main component of air pollution, or smog, is a highly reactive, colorless gas formed when oxygen reacts with other chemicals. View More (2009-09-09)
Sell-by date "arbitrary" on some food packaging
New research on untreated green olives has found that products with a stated shelf-life of 2-3 years can be 'unacceptable' long before their sell-by date. The study, published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, looked at the growing trend towards using polyethylene pouches which are vacuum-packed, filled with brine or packed in 'modified atmospheres'. Only the vacuum pouches... View More (2004-04-06)
Culturally sensitive research in United Arab Emirates pinpoints indoor air quality risks
The rapid shift from nomadic life to modern-day culture in the United Arab Emirates has exposed residents to significant indoor air quality risks that can lead to respiratory illness, according to a new study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. View More (2012-05-10)
