UCI scientists find chlorine may contribute to ozone formation
Standard methods of predicting air pollution don't take atmospheric chlorine into account, but the chemical could be responsible for 10 percent or more of daily ozone production in local air, research at UC Irvine has found. view more (2006-06-14)
New study examines effects of Graniteville, S.C., chlorine gas disaster
A new study examining the aftereffects of a chlorine gas disaster in a South Carolina town gives larger metropolitan areas important insight into what to expect and how to prepare emergency response systems for an accidental or terrorist release of the potentially deadly gas. The study is now available in the January 2009 issue of the American... view more... (2008-12-29)
Researchers develop technologies to devour food pathogens
Purdue University researchers are developing two inexpensive technologies that may be able to prevent future food-borne illness, such as the recent outbreak of E. coli in contaminated spinach. view more (2006-10-09)
New Chlorine-Tolerant, Desalination Membrane Hopes to Boost Access to Clean Water
A chemical engineering professor at The University of Texas at Austin is part of a team that has developed a chlorine-tolerant membrane that should simplify the water desalination process, increasing access to fresh water and possibly reducing greenhouse gases. view more (2008-07-23)
UCI scientists discover ozone-boosting chemical reaction
Burning of fossil fuels pumps chemicals into the air that react on surfaces such as buildings and roads to create photochemical smog-forming chlorine atoms, UC Irvine scientists report in a new study. view more (2009-07-21)
Plastics that resemble PVC - without chlorine
Even non-chemists know at least the abbreviations of those nasty substances: DDT is a highly persistent insecticide, CFCs used as propellants and refrigerants destroy atmospheric ozone, and PVC stands for plastics often regarded with suspicion. Add PCBs and PCP to this cocktail, and you can't help wondering why industry doesn't simply stop using... view more... (2003-05-22)
European satellites provide new insight into ozone-depleting chemical species
Using data from the MIPAS and GOME-2 satellite instruments, scientists have for the first time detected important bromine species in the atmosphere. view more (2009-02-26)
When atoms are getting close
The description of compounds and interactions between atoms is one of the basic objectives of chemistry. Admittedly, chemical bonding models, which describe these properties very well, already exist. view more (2009-05-05)
Volcanic aerosol clouds and gases lead to ozone destruction
Volcanic eruptions destroy ozone and create 'mini-ozone holes', according to two new studies by researchers at the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford. view more (2006-11-09)
Swimming pool chlorine risk to pregnant women
Research by Dr Mark Nieuwenhuijsen published in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine today (4 April) highlights an area of potential risk to pregnant women through exposure to the by-products of chlorination in swimming pools. The following statement clarifies the potential risk: Dr Nieuwenhuijsen, from the Department of... view more... (2002-04-04)
Researchers Uncover Key Trigger for Potent Cancer-Fighting Marine Product
An unexpected discovery in marine biomedical laboratories at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego has led to new, key information about the fundamental biological processes inside a marine organism that creates a natural product currently being tested to treat cancer in humans. The finding could lead to new applications of the... view more... (2008-01-07)
The danger of blindness after ophthalmic surgery
Ophthalmologists inject gas into the eye mainly during the surgical treatment of retinal hemorrhages or injuries. The purpose of the gas is to help press the detached retina to the wall of the eye. view more (2008-02-26)
Satellite instrument helps tackle mysteries of ozone-eating clouds
Polar stratospheric clouds have become the focus of many research projects in recent years due to the discovery of their role in ozone depletion, but essential aspects of these clouds remain a mystery. view more (2006-04-11)
TAKE CARE - YOUR CAMPING STOVE COULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH
Inadequate instructions on how to change gas canisters on camping stoves is resulting in unnecessary injuries, write Adrian Richards and colleagues from the Odstock Centre for Burns, Plastic and Maxillofacial Surgery at Salisbury District General Hospital in this week's BMJ. Based on experiences with nine patients that the Centre treated during... view more... (1999-02-26)
Avian flu virus unlikely to spread through wastewater and drinking water treatment systems, Cornell researchers find
A close relative of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (H5N1) can be eliminated by waste and drinking water treatments, including chlorination, ultraviolet (UV) radiation and bacterial digesters. The virus is harmless to humans but provides a study case of the pathways by which the influenza could spread to human populations. view more (2007-01-04)
Production of 'mint-scent'
In the industry, many tons of alcohol are used annually, as a starting point for the synthesis of many substances. Alcohol first has to be oxidised, after which aromas such as mint or cinnamon, or substances needed for the production of nylon are produced. Until now heavy metals such as chrome-oxide were used in the oxidation process. Ten Brink:... view more... (2000-03-03)
Geological reasons of ozone layer destruction
The modern science admits that the ozone concentration in the stratosphere is diminishing. This process has been fixing since the middle of 1980s. "The most popular hypothesis about technogenic freon that destroys the ozone layer is quite vulnerable", - said Dr. of geology Vladimir Sivorotkin who studies the problem of the ozone layer for ten... view more...

A POX on syn
A way to convert natural gas into raw materials for the chemical industry and generate power as a by-product could lead to more environmental benign manufacturing processes. view more (2007-09-12)
New UGA invention effectively kills foodborne pathogens in minutes
University of Georgia researchers have developed an effective technology for reducing contamination of dangerous bacteria on food. view more (2008-06-25)
New UNC experiments show very weak chlorine solutions can kill noroviruses
Chlorine solutions much weaker than previously believed can still be used to kill more than 99 percent of noroviruses, the chief cause of outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness around the world, a new University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill study concludes. view more (2005-12-20)
