New test for safer biomedical research results
In cancer research, as in most other biomedical sciences, they are playing a key role: living cells, kept in sterile plastic containers with red culture media populating incubators in laboratories around the world. view more (2009-07-31)
Study shows transfer of heavy metals from water to fish in Huelva estuary
A team of researchers from the University of Cadiz has confirmed that zinc, copper and lead are present at high levels in the water and sediments of the Huelva estuary, and have studied how some of these heavy metals are transferred to fish. view more (2009-06-16)
Hotspots or Not? Isotopes Score One for Traditional Theory
One great beauty of plate tectonics theory is that it explains so many geological phenomena at one time. But plate tectonics could not explain the location of many volcanic islands - Hawaii, the Azores or the Galapagos Islands, often called "hotspots" - far from the edge of tectonic plates. view more (2006-12-07)
Between water and rock -- a new science
Water chemistry and mineralogy are scientific fields that have been around long enough to develop extensive knowledge and technologies. The boundary of water and rock, however, is not a thin wet line but the huge new field of nanoparticle science. view more (2007-12-03)
Designer molecule detects tiny amounts of cyanide, then glows
A small molecule designed to detect cyanide in water samples works quickly, is easy to use, and glows under ultraviolet or "black" light. view more (2009-10-22)
Arsenic contamination lacks one-size-fits-all remedy
Though a worldwide problem, arsenic contamination of drinking water does not have a universal solution. view more (2007-12-11)
Microbes in mud flats clean up oil spill chemicals
Micro-organisms occurring naturally in coastal mudflats have an essential role to play in cleaning up pollution by breaking down petrochemical residues. view more (2009-03-30)
Food counterfeiting, contamination outpace international regulatory systems
Intentionally contaminated Chinese milk killed several children and sickened 300,000 more, causing concern around an increasingly connected world economy. Demand for inexpensive products virtually guarantees future repeats of food adulteration and counterfeiting from overseas, Michigan State University researchers said, as trade volumes overwhelm... view more...

New tests for nut allergens
Scientists in Florida have developed sensitive new tests to detect potentially fatal nut traces in food. Their study, published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, originally set out to find ways of processing nuts to make them safe for allergy sufferers. The techniques they developed during the analysis included the discovery... view more... (2004-06-15)
Arsenic remedy for arsenic poisoning? - Homeopathic solutions for a global catastrophe
A homeopathic remedy made from arsenic oxide could ease the suffering of the hundreds of millions of people at risk from arsenic poisoning worldwide. Research, published this week in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, suggests that Arsenicum Album reduces the liver damage caused by arsenic poisoning. Arsenic contamination of groundwater... view more... (2003-10-17)
Study shows copper could help control MRSA contamination
A new study by scientists at the University of Southampton suggests that MRSA contamination can be reduced by using copper alloys for surfaces in healthcare facilities. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a virulent organism, essentially resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics (for example: penicillins, ampicillins,... view more... (2004-07-06)
IFST Advisory Statement --Contamination of Water: Boil Water Advice
The Institute of Food Science & Technology, through its Public Affairs and Technical & Legislative Committees, with advice from its Professional Food Microbiology Group, has authorised this Advisory Statement, dated January 2004. Introduction In the event of microbiological contamination of mains water supplies, water utilities in the... view more... (2004-01-30)
Compound removes radioactive material from power plant waste
Strontium 90 is a common radioactive by-product of fission in nuclear power plants. When extracted from the reactor along with other isotopes, a mixture is created made up of the radioactive material and inert ions like sodium and calcium. view more (2008-03-13)
Heavy metals accumulate more in some mushrooms than in others
A research team from the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) has analysed the presence of heavy metals in 12 species of mushroom collected from non-contaminated natural areas, and has found that the levels vary depending on the type of mushroom. view more (2009-11-02)
Advance offers revolution in food safety testing
Microbiologists at Oregon State University have developed a new technology to detect illness-causing bacteria - an advance that could revolutionize the food industry, improving the actual protection to consumers while avoiding the costly waste and massive recalls of products that are suspected of bacterial contamination but are perfectly safe. view more (2008-09-26)
Transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria linked to previous intensive care unit room occupants
Staying in a room in the intensive care unit (ICU) previously occupied by a patient with treatment-resistant bacteria may increase the odds of acquiring such bacteria. view more (2006-10-10)
Toxic flood lifts lid on common urban pollution problem
Broken sewers, flooded industrial plants and dead bodies are all likely to blame for poisoning the waters being drained from New Orleans. view more (2005-09-20)
Experimental agents may prevent radiation-induced leukemia
Treatment with biphosphonates could prevent radiation-induced leukemia, according to data presented at the American Association for Cancer Research 100th Annual Meeting 2009. view more (2009-04-20)
Biosensors to probe the metals menace
Researchers from CRC CARE are pioneering a world-first technology to warn people if their local water or air is contaminated with dangerous levels of toxic heavy metals and metal-like substances. view more (2007-08-30)
The largest leachate plant in Europe
Leachates are the dirty or contaminated waters from landfills, produced as a consequence of both the moisture already present in the waste as well as of rainwater contaminated on passing through the waste material. The leachate plant has a capacity for treating 350,000 cubic metres a year, equivalent to the amount of wastewater generated by a city... view more... (2004-02-25)
