Study proves that automotive pollution is an environmental risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease
If you want to avoid Alzheimer’s disease, you should avoid areas with lots of automobiles and industries. The air pollution from cars and industrial processes, an article in Natural Health 365 stated, might make you more vulnerable to the onset of the widespread form of dementia. A recently published Lancaster University paper investigated the brain tissue […]

Green building practices taking hold in Malaysia
As eco-friendly construction gets its feet wet in Malaysia, local researchers evaluated the development of the country’s nascent green building index (GBI). They reported that green building in the country still needs a lot of improvement, although the federal government has been taking significant steps to support its growth. The study was supported by the […]

Scientists look at the sleep cycles of trees to reveal stress and disease in crops
A study involving more than 20 different species of trees uncovered a mysterious cycle of canopy movement that takes place during the night. Furthermore, each species adhered to a different sleep cycle. An article in Science Daily states that changes to this overnight movement could be used to diagnose any anomalies in crops that are […]

Reduced sulfur in shipping fuels projected to provide health and climate benefits through reduced air pollution
In three years, the shipping industry should have completed its transition to low-sulfur fuels per an International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulation. A new study believes this shift will not just reduce air pollution but also save many lives, reported a NewsWise article. The international study investigated the effects of sulfur emitted by ships using current marine fuels. Sulfur-rich fuel generates […]

Useful way to repurpose invasive weeds: Water hyacinth, an invasive plant to river ecosystems, may prove useful for oil sorption
Those thick clumps of water hyacinth clogging our waterways might be useful for something, after all. A Thai study suggested that the invasive floating plant can be turned into biodegradable adsorption materials that can clean up oil spills better than polypropylene-based sorbents. The findings were published in the International Organization of Scientific Research. Polypropylene is a […]

Dangerous, toxic, potentially catastrophic: Tailing ponds for copper mine quietly being planned upstream from the St. Louis River, Lake Superior
A Global Research article drew attention to the quiet plans of a foreign corporation to set up insufficiently secure toxic tailing ponds for its copper mine sited upstream of the vital St. Louis River in Minnesota. According to the article, PolyMet Mining is planning to set up an “enormously dangerous [and] potentially catastrophic” lagoon that will store […]

Will future buildings be made from vegetables?
Eating vegetables obviously makes people stronger. A U.K. study recently demonstrated that using vegetable-derived materials in the construction of a building apparently makes the structure stronger, too, an article in Alpha Galileo stated. The fibers found in carrots, sugar beets, and other root vegetables are good for digestion and beneficial bacteria in humans. The nanoplatelets […]

Biologists: Acid lakes are a new threat to our environment
The seas are not the only bodies of water that are turning more acidic due to air pollution. A new scientific paper warns that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is turning freshwater bodies into acidic lakes, an article in New Scientist states. Recently published in the scientific journal Current Biology, the paper investigated four water […]

Sunlight triggers chemical reactions that make the Deepwater Horizon oil spill unlikely to degrade
Eight years have passed since the Deepwater Horizon disaster of 2010. But oil continues to persist in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. A study warned that this water pollution is caused by chemical reactions in the oil due to exposure to sunlight, an article on Science News reported. The disaster was the biggest marine oil spill […]

Cities that are running out of water can now safely remove at least some pharmaceuticals from recycled water and wastewater
If cities are forced to recycle water, they’ll need to find a way to filter out pharmaceuticals – such as the widely used anxiety drug Diazepam – from wastewater. So, South African researchers have developed titanium dioxide nanofibers that can remove drugs from water, reported ScienceDaily. The fibers are the brainchild of a research team […]
