Toxic “forever chemicals” are a major environmental problem, and a growing body of research shows they’re also a major health problem. A new study has found people with higher levels of PFAS in their blood have poorer sleep.Continue ReadingCategory: Sl… Continue reading Toxic “forever chemicals” in the blood linked to poor sleep
Proposed methods of removing toxic ‘forever chemicals’ from water have either only trapped the chemicals or broken them down. A new study has demonstrated a method that does both – quickly and cheaply.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags:… Continue reading All-in-one solution captures and destroys ‘forever chemicals’ using light

Scientists in the UK have developed a new method for removing toxic “forever chemicals” from wastewater. Specially treated, 3D-printed ceramic lattices can remove up to 75% of the chemicals from polluted water in three hours – and the structures get be… Continue reading Reusable ‘waffle stacks’ pull toxic ‘forever chemicals’ from water
Scientists in Japan have developed a new method for breaking down toxic “forever chemicals” quickly and at room temperature. The technique broke down 100% of certain types of these pollutants overnight, recovering some useful components for reuse.Conti… Continue reading 100% of toxic “forever chemicals” break down overnight in new reaction
Venus may be a hellscape by our standards, but there’s a chance that some forms of life could evolve there. A new MIT study has now found that the building blocks of life are surprisingly stable in highly concentrated sulfuric acid – which Venus’ cloud… Continue reading Sulfuric acid clouds of Venus can’t dissolve life, new experiments find
Exposure to phthalates, a commonly used chemical in plastics, has been estimated to be the primary cause of one in 10 preterm births, according to a new study led by researchers from the New York University Grossman School of Medicine.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading 1 in 10 preterm births linked to common plastic chemical
A fascinating study has found that sniffing female tears significantly reduced male aggression and decreased activity in aggression-related brain networks. It’s suggested that the effect, which is caused by chemical signals in tears and is also seen in… Continue reading Sniffing women’s tears reduces male aggression by 44%, study finds
A new study has linked preconception exposure to phthalates to women’s reproductive health. Identifying how phthalates decrease the odds of getting pregnant, mess with important reproductive hormones, and cause inflammation and oxidative stress, the st… Continue reading Exposure to household chemicals may make it harder to get pregnant
The James Webb Space Telescope has made the first direct analysis of clouds on a nearby alien world. These aren’t just made of water vapor but also sand, which would move around the planet much like Earth’s water cycle.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, … Continue reading Sand forms clouds and rain on nearby alien planet, says Webb
