A cheaper alternative? Scientists looking at converting plastic waste into hydrogen fuel
The problem of plastic waste pollution shows no signs of letting up. Around eight million tons of plastic waste are making their way into our oceans every year, and the problem is only expected to get worse as plastic production will need to grow by three or four times by 2050 to meet demand. Although […]

Chemistry breakthrough called “diamene” could lead to incredible body armor no thicker than aluminum foil
When you think of body armor, no one would blame you for conjuring up images of knights clad in plate armor so bulky that they can barely move. Of course, it was a small price for them to pay for the protection it offered. Modern protective wear isn’t quite as bulky, but it’s not exactly […]

Millions of documents about chemical toxicity have been compiled into database, ToxicDocs, now available online
There is no doubt that toxic products are everywhere you look these days. For every headline about a product recall, there are countless other items that are either ignored or given a free pass, slowly poisoning us and our planet. Public health historians David Rosner and Gerald Markowitz have been documenting the history of toxic […]

Molecular medication “mirror images” have extremely toxic effects in humans, turning “safe” drugs into deadly killers
One risk in the pharmaceutical industry that tends to get glossed over quite a bit is racemization, which occurs when a drug essentially turns into a mirror image of itself, which in some cases might make it inert and in others could cause it to become extremely dangerous. The chemical conditions in the body play […]

What’s causing all the epilepsy? Huge surge across USA now means 3.4 million Americans suffer… NEUROCHEMICAL pollution?
Epilepsy rates in the U.S. have skyrocketed in recent years, with more than 3.4 million Americans now suffering from the neurological disorder. The figure stood at less than 2.5 million people as recently as 2010. While most epilepsy cases are unexplained, environmental factors like neuro-chemical pollution could be playing a role in the recent rise. […]

No genetic engineering needed: Simple VINEGAR can help plants resist drought, scientists find
Scientists continue to genetically engineer plants that are becoming less and less like anything that nature ever intended, and in the process, many of them are overlooking some very useful natural alternatives. One such solution was recently discovered by researchers at Japan’s RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS). After studying a new biological pathway […]
