Exposure to PCB-153 Chemical Pollutant Increases Risk of Cancer in Males

74859 This agent, which has been banned in Spain since the 1980s, can still be found in some fat-rich food, such as large fat-rich fish (tuna, salmon, swordfish, among others), since it is highly resistant to degradation.   The results of this research project have been published in the Science of the Total Environment journal.… Seguir Leyendo Exposure to PCB-153 Chemical Pollutant Increases Risk of Cancer in Males

Trophic Coherence Could Help Solve the Mystery of Coexistence within Complex Ecosystems

75244 Researchers have established that so-called trophic networks, which schematically represent who feeds on whom within an ecosystem, have a certain capacity—which had so far went unnoticed—called ‘trophic coherence’, which can help solve this mystery. This is something that experts in the environmental sciences have been trying to solve for decades.   For decades scientists… Seguir Leyendo Trophic Coherence Could Help Solve the Mystery of Coexistence within Complex Ecosystems

Doped Carbon Gel Enables Production of Low-Cost Energy

Researchers from the University of Granada (UGR) have developed a new material using doped carbon that allows low-cost energy to be produced and also reduces the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere. The recently-patented material is a gel that enables the CO2 to be turned back into hydrocarbons via electro-catalytic transformation, with great savings… Seguir Leyendo Doped Carbon Gel Enables Production of Low-Cost Energy

Experts Says Green Spaces in Towns Should Have Low Allergy Impact

Experts Says Green Spaces in Towns Should Have Low Allergy Impact Contributing to the diversity of plant species (avoiding the massive use of an only or a few species); using examples of native flora preferably instead of exotic species and promoting the participation of experts in the design of landscaped areas are some of the… Seguir Leyendo Experts Says Green Spaces in Towns Should Have Low Allergy Impact
