A new study led by University of Maryland researchers has found that increase in particulate matter and air pollution in the earth’s atmosphere is leading to severe storms in wet regions and drought in dry regions.
FIRA will be sharing the findings of a key furniture industry research project that has assessed the feasibility of providing the UK furniture industry with product carbon footprint benchmarks.
The soot particle filters found on diesel vehicles are designed to ensure that no harmful particles make their way through the exhaust pipe. Often, though, the exhaust from newer-model engines is not hot enough to free the filters from soot particles on a regular basis. A new method removes impurities even at low exhaust temperatures.
The innovative invention of Professor Lennart Larsson, who is employed at the Lund University’s Department of Laboratory Medicine, has received the first prize of SEK 150 000 for his invention cTrap, an elastic type of covering, which when installed directly over water-damaged surfaces prevents unsafe discharges indoors.
Virgin Atlantic Airways has declared the development of a new low carbon aviation fuel that emits just half the level of carbon dioxide emissions when compared to normal fossil fuel. It has entered into a joint venture with LanzaTech to produce aviation fuel by capturing waste gases released during the industrial steel production process, ferment them and chemically change them into jet fuel by utilizing a Swedish biofuels technology.
Stony Brook University has become one among the 21 teams chosen for the inaugural Innovation Corps (I-Corps) awards of the National Science Foundation.
Altuglas International, a subsidiary of ARKEMA group, today launches its R&D department's very latest innovation: the Altuglas® ShieldUp nanostructured acrylic sheet. This acrylic glass is “meshed” and structured at the scale of a billionth of a metre to maximize its properties.
Managing the pollution of our environment is a highly complex matter and full of fundamental dilemmas. To make the right choices, science and society need each other to address questions such as which environmental problems to solve first, and which to leave until later, said Prof. Carolien Kroeze in her inaugural address as Professor of Pollution Management
New research by scientists at the University of Southampton has shown how London's trees can improve air quality by filtering out pollution particulates, which are damaging to human health.
Just beyond the DNA-like helical staircase in Drexel University’s new Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building, the atrium’s great showpiece is a vertical wall of living plants, 20 feet wide, rising five stories (75 feet) in height – the largest such wall in North America and the only one at a U.S. university. But the biowall is not just for show. It is an active living filter that removes volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air.
