Free smoke alarm programmes are failing
Providing and installing free smoke alarms to poor, urban households does not reduce fire related injuries and may be a waste of resources, find two studies in this week's BMJ. In the first study, smoke alarms were given out to 19,950 households in a deprived, multiethnic, urban community in inner... view more (2002-10-30)

Using plastics to track down prions
BSE still remains a highly emotive subject. Consumers of beef products are not the only ones to have lingering doubts: Scientific experts point out that there may still be a risk of contamination from the cinders and ashes left over when infected animal carcasses are incinerated. The reason for... view more (2002-06-07)

Methane from microbes: a fuel for the future

Compost heap bacteria could provide 10 percent of UK transport fuel needs
Bacteria found in compost heaps able to convert waste plant fibre into ethanol could eventually provide up 10% of the UK's transport fuel needs, scientists heard today (Tuesday 9 September 2008) at the Society for General Microbiology's Autumn meeting being held this week at Trinity College, Dublin.   view more (2008-09-09)

More biogas, less sludge
Germany has more than 10,000 sewage plants, using costly processes to treat household, industrial and restaurant waste water. The treated water is discharged back into river and lake systems. What remains is an organic / inorganic mixture of sludge. The issue is how to dispose of this residue. Up... view more (2002-11-14)

Wastewater from the canning industry is not harmful to the agricultural soil
Irrigation with wastewater from the canning industry is not harmful to the quality of agricultural soil and may even, in some cases, improve it. This is the conclusion of Iñigo Abdón Virto Quecedo in his PhD thesis defended at the Public University of Navarre.   view more (2004-12-22)

Putting a green cap on garbage dumps
andfill sites produce the greenhouse gases, methane and carbon dioxide, as putrescible waste decays. Growing plants and trees on top of a landfill, a process known as 'Phytocapping', could reduce the production and release of these gases, according to Australian scientists writing in a forthcoming... view more (2008-11-24)

New challenge for producers of refrigerators
The European Union has introduced a directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The directive makes producers responsible for the recycling of the electrical and electronic equipment that they put on the market. The results from a study of refrigerators made by CIT Elektronik,... view more (2003-11-26)
