Medicine & TechnologyThe necessity of having indoor plants in the urban environment is beneficial to our health and provides a positive effect to Urban Dwellers
Biodegradable plastics will soon be replacing plastics made from petrochemicals. It took chemists a 100 years til the breakthrough to produce plastics from a sustainable source.
The prospect of the creation of new fuels and other hydrocarbon is something that could add more renewable sources of energy made available by the Technical Research Institute in Finland and the Lappeenranta University of Technology.
Two factories aims to save the environment through capturing carbon dioxide from the air. The carbon dioxides are converted into pellets and fertilizers for greehouses.
Finally, a new filtration process that does not cost much to operate. The next step for the silicon polymer material device is to evaluate its reaction with salts and other strained particles.
Carbon Dioxide is toxic to humans and animals. If left unchecked in enclosures, homes, and buildings, it could be fatal and can cause death. Studies are now being implemented how to compute the levels of CO2 in homes and buildings with respect to its occupants.
A recent study showed that high carbon dioxide level has big impact to oceans as it makes seawater more acidic, which in turn hampers marine process called nitrogen fixation.
Researchers from the University of Amsterdam (UvA) have invented a new catalyst that can efficiently convert carbon dioxide (CO2) to carbon monoxide (CO). This soon-to-be-patented invention enables the sustainable utilization of CO2, a potent greenhouse gas linked to climate change. If successful on a larger scale, this invention could provide a practical way for converting CO2 to useful chemicals.
Scientists tracked the historical changes in the carbon dioxide levels with the help Antarctic ice cores air pocket and deep sea floor sludge. Scientists compiled 1500 carbon dioxide estimates for creating a view extending 420 million years.
