Chronic Exposure to Lead, Cadmium and Arsenic Increases Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
Around the world, most people are regularly exposed to low or moderate levels of lead, cadmium and arsenic in the environment, increasing risk of coronary artery disease, stroke and peripheral artery disease, according to a new American Heart Association statement.
Global Warming Accelerates CO2 Emissions From Soil Microbes
The rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration is a primary catalyst for global warming, and an estimated one fifth of the atmospheric CO2 originates from soil sources.
Researchers Develop a New Source of Quantum Light
Using novel materials that have been widely studied as potential new solar photovoltaics, researchers at MIT have shown that nanoparticles of these materials can emit a stream of single, identical photons.
Effect of Volcanic Eruptions Significantly Underestimated in Climate Projections
While this effect is far from enough to offset the effects of global temperature rise caused by human activity, the researchers, led by the University of Cambridge, say that small-magnitude eruptions are responsible for as much as half of all the sulphur gases emitted into the upper atmosphere by volcanoes.
Ecological ‘Doom Loops’ Edging Closer
Extreme weather events combined with rising environmental stress levels are increasing the likelihood of ecosystem collapse, according to new research involving the University of Southampton.
