A new portable biosensor detects traces of contaminants in food more quickly and cheaply
Scientists at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB), in cooperation with the CSIC, have developed a new electro-chemical biosensor which detects the presence, in food, of very small amounts of atrazine -one of the most widely used herbicides in agriculture and which also has very long lasting effects on the environment- as well as... view more...

Pioneering system for the compression of additives in food conservation
Researchers at the Public University of Navarre, the University of La Rioja and the enterprise Diasa Industrial are designing a machine which makes food additives in pellet form with substances that have been hitherto impossible to compress. The idea is to develop an existing project for a new system of additives dosage for the food industry and... view more... (2003-07-08)
Foodborne infections in the home linked to social functions

'Green Clean:' Researchers Determining Natural Ways To Clean Contaminated Soil
Researchers at North Carolina State University are working to demonstrate that trees can be used to degrade or capture fuels that leak into soil and ground water. Through a process called phytoremediation - literally a "green" technology - plants and trees remove pollutants from the environment or render them harmless. view more (2009-09-18)
