A new measure of global warming from carbon emissions
Damon Matthews, a professor in Concordia University's Department of Geography, Planning and the Environment has found a direct relationship between carbon dioxide emissions and global warming. view more (2009-06-11)
Power stations threaten people and wildlife with mercury poisoning
Nairobi, 3 February 2003 - Mercury poisoning of the planet could be significantly reduced by curbing pollution from power stations, a new report released by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) suggests. The report, compiled by an international team of experts, says that coal-fired power stations and waste incinerators now account for... view more... (2003-02-04)
Gold nanoparticles help detect a toxic metal -- mercury
With gold nanoparticles, DNA and some smart chemistry as their tools, scientists at Northwestern University have developed a simple "litmus test" for mercury that eventually could be used for on-the-spot environmental monitoring of bodies of water, such as rivers, streams, lakes and oceans, to evaluate their safety as food and drinking... view more...

1 in 4 NYC adults has elevated blood mercury levels
A quarter of adult New Yorkers have elevated blood mercury levels, according to survey results released today by the Health Department, and the elevations are closely tied to fish consumption. view more (2007-07-24)
Mercury atomic clock keeps time with record accuracy
An experimental atomic clock based on a single mercury atom is now at least five times more precise than the national standard clock based on a "fountain" of cesium atoms. view more (2006-07-17)
Fish oils reduce greenhouse gas emissions from flatulent cows
The benefits to animals of omega 3 fatty acids in fish oils have been well documented - helping the heart and circulatory system, improving meat quality and reducing methane emissions. view more (2009-03-30)
UA scientists part of Supreme Court case on carbon dioxide emissions
Four faculty members from The University of Arizona in Tucson were part of an amicus curiae brief supporting the plaintiff in today's historic U.S. Supreme Court decision on carbon dioxide emissions and climate change. view more (2007-04-03)
US faces burning emissions issue
Severe United States wildfires can contribute as much as vehicles to carbon emissions in some US states, although the amount is highly variable. view more (2007-11-01)
Biodiesel won't drive down global warming
EU legislation to promote the uptake of biodiesel will not make any difference to global warming, and could potentially result in greater emissions of greenhouse gases than from conventional petroleum derived diesel. view more (2007-04-23)
'Fingerprinting' method tracks mercury emissions from coal
University of Michigan researchers have developed a new tool that uses natural "fingerprints" in coal to track down sources of mercury polluting the environment. view more (2008-10-09)
CU-Boulder space scientists set for second spacecraft flyby of Mercury
NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft, which is toting an $8.7 million University of Colorado at Boulder instrument to measure Mercury's wispy atmosphere and blistering surface, will make its second flyby of the mysterious, rocky planet Oct. 6. view more (2008-10-01)
Denver to Barcelona: Global cities and greenhouse gas emissions
Denver released the largest amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) and Barcelona the smallest amount in a new study documenting how differences in climate, population density and other factors affect GHG emissions in global cities. view more (2009-09-24)
Emissions irrelevant to future climate change?
Climate change and the carbon emissions seem inextricably linked. However, new research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Carbon Balance and Management suggests that this may not always hold true, although it may be some time before we reach this saturation point. view more (2008-04-28)
Chemical Industry Gives Mixed Response to Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme
The Chemical Industries Association (CIA) today expressed concern that the UK's allocation of greenhouse gas emissions is still not finally decided, but applauded the UK Government's decision to press the European Commission for approval of the revised limits. view more (2005-02-15)
Brown Planetary Geologists Lend Expertise to Mercury Mission
What lies on the uncharted side of mysterious Mercury, the smallest planet in the solar system? Brown University students, led by planetary geologist James Head, will study never-before-seen images of Mercury when a NASA spacecraft makes the first visit to Mercury in nearly 33 years. view more (2008-01-14)
Improving China's acid rain control strategy
Scientists are reporting the first evidence that China's sharp focus on reducing widespread damage to soil by acid rain by restricting sulfur dioxide air pollution may have an unexpected consequence: Gains from that pollution control program will be largely offset by increases in nitrogen emissions, which the country's current policy largely... view more...

Emissions rising faster this decade than last
The latest figures on the global carbon budget to be released in Washington and Paris today indicate a four-fold increase in growth rate of human-generated carbon dioxide emissions since 2000. view more (2008-10-02)
A WAKE-UP CALL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH (p 587)
Issue 23 August 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 22 August 2003. This week's editorial comments on the new energy bill that will increase US domestic energy supply, concluding that the bill's implications for increased energy consumption rather than conservation is 'a step backwards for health'. The US is responsible for 23% of all... view more... (2003-08-20)
Climate protocol may save Amazon region
If Brazil gets a climate protocol, like the Kyoto Protocol for the rich countries, it will be possible to create an incentive for the country to reduce the deforestation of the Amazon region. The Kyoto Protocol targets a reduction of emissions of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases. In a new study, Martin Persson, in collaboration with Christian... view more... (2004-05-28)
CO2 emissions increasing faster than expected
Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels - the principal driver of climate change - have accelerated globally at a far greater rate than expected over recent years. view more (2007-05-22)
