How to Greatly Reduce Industrial Mercury Emissions

Chemistry, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Inorganic Chemistry, Science /

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a groundbreaking method to significantly reduce mercury levels in sulphuric acid, a widely used industrial chemical. The method involves ionizing mercury and forming an alloy with another metal through electrochemical processes. An electrode with a platinum surface binds the mercury, creating an alloy that can be safely […]

Measuring Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Ponds Enhances Climate Forecasting

Climatology, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Science /

Emissions of greenhouse gases from shallow lakes and ponds are significant, but the variations in emissions from these systems are not well understood. To address this knowledge gap, a recent study led by Cornell University examined methane and carbon dioxide emissions from 30 small lakes and ponds in temperate regions of Europe and North America.

A Green Living Environment Does Not Protect Children Against Eczema

Environmental Science, Healthcare, Science /

Around 20-30% of children experience atopic eczema, which commonly appears in early childhood and is often linked to food allergies. It is also associated with the development of asthma and allergic rhinitis later in life. A recent study from Finland has found that the environmental conditions of the home during early childhood do not appear

Businesses Obligated to Act Accordingly to the Green Agenda

Climatology, Economics, Environmental Science, Finance & Business, Healthcare, Oil & Gas, Science, Sociology /

Every spring-time  (season of growth), shareholders measure  how they are running their ventures. It’s the moment that business people take on advice to form Corporate Policies, Action Plan, Executive and Government expenses. This has been changing currently  as we see the acceleration on climate changes causing the Earth to  heat up. Activist Investors are far
