Health risk due to micro- and nanoplastics in food
25-Mar-2022
Five grams of plastic particles on average enter the human gastrointestinal tract per person per week. This is roughly equivalent to the weight of a credit card. Whether ingested micro- and nanoplastics pose a health risk is being investigated in numerous studies but is largely unknown to date. A ...
Relocating farmland could turn back clock twenty years on carbon emissions, say scientists
14-Mar-2022
Scientists have produced a map showing where the world’s major food crops should be grown to maximise yield and minimise environmental impact. This would capture large amounts of carbon, increase biodiversity, and cut agricultural use of freshwater to zero. The reimagined world map of agriculture ...
Arsenic in Connecticut wells may be a legacy of past pesticide use on orchards
oisons can linger in the ecosystem decades after they were last applied

A new method for removing lead from drinking water
Engineers have designed a relatively low-cost, energy-efficient approach to treating water contaminated with heavy metals.
27-Sep-2021
Engineers at MIT have developed a new approach to removing lead or other heavy-metal contaminants from water, in a process that they say is far more energy-efficient than any other currently used system, though there are others under development that come close. Ultimately, it might be used to ...
