They reported that the two antioxidants appear to inhibit the toxic effects of the increasingly widespread water contaminant. Hexavalent chromium is a heavy metal that has many industrial applications. It is a crucial part of chemicals employed in carbon and stainless steel […]

Researchers working to develop electronic nose device to instantly detect the release of harmful toxins into the environment
An intra-European research team is hard at work designing the newest iteration of “electronic noses.” The final version of their gas sensor will be sensitive enough to detect minute traces of industrial air pollutants in the environment. INITIO is an international research project of the European Union’s Horizon2020 FET-OPEN. Supported by the European Commission with initial funding […]

Exposure to microplastics weakens the grip of mussels, which may affect biodiversity and reduce aquaculture yields
Increasing numbers of microplastics are found inside mussels and other shellfish during recent years. Now, a U.K. study warns that exposure to these tiny plastics makes it more difficult for blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) to get a grip on a surface, much less hang on to its surroundings while getting pounded by the surf or tugged at […]

Think your kids are growing up ‘too fast’? Chemicals in their toothpaste might be the reason
Children are hitting puberty earlier during the last two decades than at any other point in human history. This unhealthily fast rate of physiological development is connected to hormone-disrupting chemicals in synthetic toothpastes and other common products. California-based researchers reported that these toxic chemicals can affect the development of children as early as the time that they were still in the […]

China is losing its pollution war: Levels of harmful ozone rise up as particulate matter drops
American and Chinese researchers warned that China is losing its war on air pollution. Even as the world’s most populous country brought down levels of airborne particulate matter, the amount of ozone pollution entering the air rose to take the place of PM 2.5. The Chinese government began its campaign against air pollution in 2013. Concerned about […]

Did you know that “dirty electricity” causes electrical pollution that’s linked to health problems?
Wireless technology is not the only source of electromagnetic field pollution in the modern home. The electrical wires running through the typical house can generate “dirty electricity” that is harmful to a person’s well-being. The standard electrical frequency throughout North America is 60 hertz. However, there is an increasing number of different frequencies that are also being […]

Found in grains and food products derived from livestock that ate tainted grain, these endocrine disruptors can harm the sexual development of young girls and cause other, more serious health complications. As much as 25 percent of the world’s supply of grain has been contaminated by mycotoxin-producing molds. […]
