A new and simple method for upcycling plastic waste at room temperature has been developed by a team of researchers at the Centre for Sustainable and Circular Technologies (CSCT) at the University of Bath. The researchers hope the new process will help recycling become more economically viable. Plas more

A new study by Simon Fraser University's Faculty of Health Sciences researchers found correlations between increased expressions of autistic-like behaviours in pre-school aged children to gestational exposure to select environmental toxicants, including metals, pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls more

Plastic products are ubiquitous. Although considered indispensable in many areas of life thanks to their versality and practicality, are they really harmless? The PlastX research group led by the Institute of Ecological Research (ISOE) has examined everyday products made of plastic and found that th more

Coal fly ash (CFA) was used as a catalyst for the synthesis of nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs) and carbon nanofibers (CNFs) by chemical vapor deposition. Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) were successfully purified by sequential treatment in 5% HF and then in a dil. HNO3/H2SO4 mixture, as was show more
