Childhood cancers are strongly linked to pollution from engine exhausts, concludes research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.   view more (2005-08-11)

Computer models suggest planetary and extrasolar planet atmospheres
The world is abuzz with the discovery of an extrasolar, Earth-like planet around the star Gliese 581 that is relatively close to our Earth at 20 light years away in the constellation Libra.   view more (2007-06-20)

ASU professor 'follows the elements' to understand evolution in ancient oceans
In the search for life beyond Earth, scientists 'follow the water' to find places that might be hospitable. However, every home gardener knows that plants need more than water, or even sunshine.   view more (2008-12-08)

Study finds obese patients fair better than lean patients when hospitalized for acute heart failure
Researchers report that for patients hospitalized with acute heart failure, a higher body mass index (BMI) was associated with a substantially lower in-hospital mortality rate.   view more (2007-01-10)

EU smart construction materials absorb and wash away pollution
A European consortium of private enterprises, research institutions and the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) is running a test programme for innovative construction materials set to help in the fight against air pollution. The "smart" construction materials (plaster,... view more (2004-03-04)

Slightly stressed carp succumb easily to parasite
Researchers from Wageningen have discovered that slightly stressed carp are much more susceptible to parasites than unstressed carp. All of the laboratory carp which were taken out of the water for one minute a day, died from parasitic attack. Only 40% of the carp who did not undergo the light... view more (2002-09-11)

ADE-ADE-BIOTEC present their first on-site plant for the treatment of pig purines
The novelty of the system lies in the possibility of having an on-site installation at the farm itself, thus avoiding the transport of the purines to other, off-site plants for their treatment.   view more (2004-12-09)

Venus Express preliminary investigations bring encouraging news
Following the announcement of the Venus Express launch delay due to particulate contamination found in the launcher fairing where the spacecraft was installed, ESA staff and industry teams have started an inspection of the spacecraft.   view more (2005-10-26)

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... view more (2004-04-06)

Seabird Ammonia Emissions Contribute to Atmospheric Acidity
Ammonia emissions from seabirds have been shown to be a significant source of nitrogen in remote coastal ecosystems, contributing to nutrient enrichment (eutrophication) and acidification in ecosystems.   view more (2008-09-23)

Motorcycles emit 'disproportionately high' amounts of air pollutants
Motorcycles collectively emit 16 times more hydrocarbons, three times more carbon monoxide and a "disproportionately high" amount of other air pollutants compared to passenger cars.   view more (2005-12-20)

High hourly air pollution levels more than double stroke risk
High hourly levels of air pollution, more than double the risk of one type of stroke, suggests research published ahead of print in Occupational and Environmental Medicine.   view more (2006-09-21)

New technique yields more detailed picture of chromatin structure
University of Illinois researchers have developed a technique for imaging cells under an electron microscope that yields a sharper image of the structure of chromatin, the tightly wound bundle of genetic material and proteins that makes up the chromosomes.   view more (2008-04-17)

DFG Presents the New MAK and BAT Value List 2003
The Senate Commission of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) on the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area has announced the 2003 Maximum Allowable Concentration (MAK) and Biological Tolerance Value (BAT) list and submitted it to the... view more (2003-09-02)

Study shows continued spread of 'dead zones'
A global study led by Professor Robert Diaz of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, College of William and Mary, shows that the number of "dead zones"-areas of seafloor with too little oxygen for most marine life-has increased by a third between 1995 and 2007.   view more (2008-08-15)

Potent greenhouse gas more prevalent in atmosphere than previously assumed
A powerful greenhouse gas is at least four times more prevalent in the atmosphere than previously estimated, according to a team of researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.   view more (2008-10-24)

Physicists team up to learn how quantum mechanical states break down
Researchers at the US Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory, the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Microsoft Station Q have made significant advancements in understanding a fundamental problem of quantum mechanics -- one that is blocking efforts to develop practical quantum computers... view more (2008-03-24)

Recycling: more than just a word
Recycling of plastics is a troublesome business. If they are shredded and melted down together the end products are often relatively worthless materials; this is known in the trade as "downcycling". If plastics are broken down into their constituent parts in the refining process, the products... view more (1998-11-20)

Ecologists give evidence to climate change inquiry
The UK should use its presidency of the G8 and EU to move forward international action to analyse future risks due to climate change and develop and implement evidence-based adaptation strategies for coping with the immediate impacts of climate change, the British Ecological Society has urged.... view more (2004-12-08)

Bold traveler's journey toward the center of the Earth
The first ecosystem ever found having only a single biological species has been discovered 2.8 kilometers (1.74 miles) beneath the surface of the earth in the Mponeng gold mine near Johannesburg, South Africa.   view more (2008-10-10)

Pollution threatens coral health by preventing lesions from healing, UCF study shows
Coral tissue damage that normally heals on its own will not mend when the colonies are near pollution sources on land that release industrial chemicals, fuel oils and other contaminants, a University of Central Florida biologist and several colleagues have found.   view more (2006-07-20)

The colourful demise of a Sun-like star
A brand new image taken with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 shows the planetary nebula NGC 2440 - the chaotic structure of the demise of a star.   view more (2007-02-15)

NASA satellite eyes atmosphere to improve pollution and climate forecasting
