Chemicals used to control fleas and ticks on domestic animals have been detected in Great Tit nests in both an urban area and a protected forest in Hungary, revealing a potential route by which veterinary insecticides can reach wild birds.
Biosolids can be applied as a fertiliser to improve and maintain productive soils. Research from UNSW Sydney has assessed a range of contaminants that may warrant closer monitoring to help protect the environment and maintain the benefits of biosolid reuse.
Beyond Pesticides is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization headquartered in Washington, D.C., which works with allies in protecting public health and the environment to lead the transition to a world free of toxic pesticides. The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National…
Urban agriculture can help cities adapt to climate change, but its carbon benefits are not well understood. Using Philadelphia orchards as a case study, this study found significant carbon impacts and presents a simple, replicable method for measuring the carbon…
Researchers at Cardiff Metropolitan University have secured £425,000 to investigate the safe and effective use of ozone in food storage facilities, with the aim of improving food safety and reducing food waste. The grant, awarded by the Department for Environment, Food…
A combined modelling and experimental study of organic electrochemical transistors identifies interface effects, gate geometry and channel thickness as the key levers for stable, sensitive biosensing devices. Article Title: Multiphysics modelling and interface optimization of PEDOT:PSS OECTs for stable…
A study of 28 organic lettuce fields on California's Central Coast found that management practices such as continuous living cover and reduced tillage explained more variance in soil carbon fractions than inherent soil properties, with the clearest gains in particulate organic…
Researchers found that blending TIPS pentacene with poly(α-methylstyrene) aligns its crystals nearly parallel and triples transistor mobility compared with pristine films.
