Minute silver nanoparticles-- widely used in consumer products as antimicrobial agents-- can cause sperm cells to stop growing, according to a new study.
Green chemistry is one of five technologies set to benefit from a Euro1.35 billion (£1.11 billion) cash injection over the next 4 years in France.
Green chemistry is a new trend moving through industry. It is the process of changing how we make stuff by using ingredients that are sustainably made, processes that generate the smallest amount of waste and packaging that requires the least amount of material.
Much of the world’s electronic waste is being shipped to China for recycling, and the cottage industry that has sprung up there to recover usable materials from computers, cell phones, and televisions may be creating significant health and environmental hazards, an Oregon State University researcher warned Thursday.
Roughly 600 University of Oregon students in 25 classes will devote 80,000 hours to Salem during the coming year. The novel program, part of the university's three-year-old Sustainable Cities Initiative, will focus on making Salem more economically, socially and environmentally sustainable.
