Decline in uptake of carbon emissions confirmed
A decline in the proportion of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions absorbed by land and oceans is speeding up the growth of atmospheric CO2, according to a paper published today in the US Journal: Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. view more (2007-10-25)
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)
Forests' long-term potential for carbon offsetting
As well as cutting our fossil fuel emissions, planting new forests, or managing existing forests or agricultural land more effectively can capitalise on nature's ability to act as a carbon sink. view more (2008-04-15)
Hidden threat: Elevated pollution levels near regional airports
Scientists are reporting evidence that air pollution - a well-recognized problem at major airports - may pose an important but largely overlooked health concern for people living near smaller regional airports. view more (2009-11-19)
Carnegie Mellon researchers urge development of low carbon electricity
Carnegie Mellon University's Constantine Samaras and Kyle Meisterling report that plug-in hybrid electric vehicles could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions that fuel global warming, but the benefits are highly dependent on how the electricity system changes in the coming decades. view more (2008-04-28)
Gassed by gannets!
This is one of the subjects being investigated in the GANE (Global Atmospheric Nitrogen Enrichment) research initiative funded by NERC. The first meeting of the principal investigators will be on Thursday, 9th March, when they will share information on progress of the various projects that form the initiative. view more (2000-03-08)
Reducing carbon emissions could help -- not harm -- US economy
A national policy to cut carbon emissions by as much as 40 percent over the next 20 years could still result in increased economic growth, according to an interactive website that reviews 25 of the leading economic models used to predict the economic impacts of reducing emissions. view more (2008-03-20)
CO2 emissions booming, shifting east, researchers report
Despite widespread concern about climate change, annual carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels and manufacturing cement have grown 38 percent since 1992, from 6.1 billion tons of carbon to 8.5 billion tons in 2007. view more (2008-09-25)
An eco-friendly car engine that doesn't stall on performance
A novel type of engine which aims to use less fuel and reduce noxious emissions without detracting from the car's performance is being developed thanks to an investment of £93,500 from NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), the organisation that champions UK innovation. view more (2004-11-18)
Air pollution from ships - a serious threat
Emissions from ships may bring as much nitrogen oxide to the atmosphere as the total amount of emissions coming from the USA. International shipping along the Norwegian coast and in the Northern Atlantic Ocean contributes largely to the formation of ground-level ozone and acidification of the shores. Air pollution from ships may be twice as bad as... view more... (2004-03-30)
New Cassini images show Northern Lights of Saturn
New images of Saturn obtained by a University of Colorado at Boulder-led team on June 21 using an instrument on the Cassini spacecraft show auroral emissions at its poles similar to Earth's Northern Lights. view more (2005-08-08)
Skin Condition Linked to Genetics in Caucasian and Chinese Populations
A study at the University of Sheffield in the UK was conducted on the skin condition called psoriasis, revealing a link between susceptibility to psoriasis and regions on chromosomes 6p21 and 4q28-q31. According to the study, psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory dermatosis, is believed to be inherited and triggered by environmental, as well as... view more... (2004-07-15)
DIFFERENCES IN RISK FACTORS, ATHEROSCLEROSIS, AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE BETWEEN ETHNIC GROUPS IN CANADA (pp 266, 279)
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET shows that south Asians (people who originate from the Indian subcontinent) are more likely to suffer cardiovascular disease (CVD), compared with people of European and Chinese origin, even though Europeans have a greater burden of atherosclerosis, a major determinant of CVD. CVD rates vary greatly... view more... (2000-07-19)
World needs climate emergency backup plan, says expert
In submitted testimony to the British Parliament, climate scientist Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution said that while steep cuts in carbon emissions are essential to stabilizing global climate, there also needs to be a backup plan. view more (2008-11-10)
Waste water treatment plant mud used as 'green' fuel
Catalan scientists have shown that using mud from waste water treatment plants as a partial alternative fuel can enable cement factories to reduce their CO2 emissions and comply with the Kyoto Protocol, as well as posing no risk to human health and being profitable. view more (2009-06-24)
Excess pneumonia deaths linked to engine exhaust
Engine exhaust fumes are linked to excess deaths from pneumonia across England, suggests research published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. view more (2008-04-15)
First analysis of recent disease outbreak in China
Last year, there was major press coverage of an alarmingly large and deadly outbreak of Streptococcus suis disease in Sichuan province in China. view more (2006-04-11)
China joins Worldwide Universities Network
The Universities of Nanjing and Zhejiang are the first universities in China to join the Worldwide Universities Network, the higher education alliance formed by six UK and five US universities. A delegation from WUN reached the groundbreaking agreement during a visit to China in April. Nanjing and Zhejiang are amongst the small number of top-rated... view more... (2002-04-23)
Sea Grant warns of dumping seafood
In its latest outreach campaign, MIT Sea Grant has developed an educational pamphlet to encourage people not to release or dump live and fresh seafood and seafood waste into the wild. view more (2006-06-22)
Kyoto climate commitments - a challenge for UK energy policy, say Academies
The report examines options for generating electricity without emission of CO2. These include using renewable sources (such as wind and solar) and negating CO2 emissions by use of 'carbon sequestration', as well as maintaining a nuclear energy capability. view more (1999-06-14)
