Geoscientists of Jena University analyze soil contamination through melt waters at airports: In the science magazine “Environmental Science and Pollution Research“ the scientists wrote that de-icing agents like propylene glycol und potassium formate have a negative impact on groundwater quality and the functions of the soil.
Exposure to high levels of pollution can have a significant impact on fetal growth and development, that is the conclusion of research appearing today in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
Marine ecosystems can be changed by night-time artificial lighting according to new research published in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters. The results indicate that light pollution from coastal communities, shipping and offshore infrastructure could be changing the composition of marine invertebrate communities.
Air pollution, even at moderate levels, has long been recognized as a factor in raising the risk of stroke. A new study led by scientists from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Boston University School of Medicine suggests that long-term exposure can cause damage to brain structures and impair cognitive function in middle-aged and older adults.
Use of clean fuels and updated pollution control measures in the school buses 25 million children ride every day could result in 14 million fewer absences from school a year, based on a study by the University of Michigan and the University of Washington.
A new study by the University of Chicago Booth School of Business Assistant Professor Amanda Sharkey and University of Utah Assistant Professor Patricia Bromley found that environmental ratings have spillover effects on other companies' behavior.
A Cooper's hawk, found in Greater Vancouver, is the most polluted wild bird that has been found anywhere in the world. A team of Canadian researchers made this startling discovery while analyzing liver samples from birds of prey that were discovered either injured or dead in the Vancouver area.
A trio of recently published studies from a team of University of Toronto engineers has found that air pollution could be spreading up to three times farther than thought--contributing to varying levels of air quality across cities.
In freshwater lakes around the world, a blue-green slick is often seen floating on the water. These algae blooms often result from an overabundance of what's known as cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, which may be toxic to humans and other animals.
The Applied and Environmental Geophysics Group at Keele University, UK, led by Professor Peter Styles, with Dr Rachel Westwood and Mr Sam Toon, has been successful in being part of a European and US consortium that has won 2.7 million Euros (Keele component c. 300,000 Euros) in a very competitive call for research into the environmental aspects of Shale Gas operations to be called SHEER (SHale gas Exploration and Exploitation induced Risks) from the HORIZON 2020 programme.
