Fluoride linked to IMPAIRED kidney and liver function in adolescents, warn researchers
A study that was recently published in the Environment International journal showed just how dangerous fluoride can be in adolescence. The study looked at the relationship between the levels of fluoride in young people’s drinking water and blood and the health of their kidneys and livers. The adolescents studied were part of the National Health […]

What is that in the water? Researchers have developed a simple way to trace contamination
The contamination of water, especially with fecal matter from animals or humans, is a serious problem. Pathogens from human or animal wastes can cause life-threatening diseases as well as economic losses. To address fecal pollution of water systems properly, it is important to know the origin of the waste. Human and animal wastes present different health risks; identifying […]

Engineers devise a system that recovers fresh water from power plants
What do you think of an electrical power plant that can also provide an inexpensive source of drinking water? Engineers have come up with a way to recover the water used to cool power plants and purify it for human consumption, an article in Science Direct stated. Nearly 40 percent of the water drawn from freshwater sources […]

Old biological filters work better than new water treatments, according to Swedish study
An old water treatment technology called slow sand filters could be making a comeback – and the older filters would work better than both newer ones or modern filtration methods. According to Science Daily, a Swedish study suggests that the older the filter, the better it is for treating water. Slow sand filters first appeared during […]

More natural pollution solutions: Enzymes from horse radish found to effectively remove phenols from polluted waters
Scientists continue to search for more natural solutions to address water pollution. A group of scientists aimed to find an eco-friendly, economical, and effective biological way of removing phenolic compounds in water polluted by industrial wastes. In their study, which was published in the IOSR Journal of Environmental Science, Toxicology and Food Technology, the researchers […]

Breaking down water pollutants in water, naturally: Simple method uses vitamin C, green LED light and a catalyst
Water pollution is on the rise globally. However, available methods that destroy pollutants in water use expensive and complex high-power lasers. That is – until a team of scientists from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) developed a new method that easily and cost-effectively breaks down stubborn pollutants in water. Their method – which could very well be […]

Geoscientist analyzes how contaminants, including bacteria and viruses, move through groundwater
It’s a topic that many of us don’t give much thought: How exactly do bacteria and viruses make their way through groundwater? Countless people can be sickened when this happens after flooding or heavy rains, for example, but what occurs on the microscopic level when this happens is largely a mystery. William Johnson, a geoscientist from […]

Fog harvesting could help alleviate water shortages
As traditional sources of water dry out or grow contaminated with pollution, we’ll need to find new ways to get the water we need. One method is fog harvesting, where you collect moisture from ground-level clouds. A Virginia-based research team has come up with a “fog harp” that collects thrice as much water as earlier fog nets, […]

Trees in the city can handle the heat and the bugs – if they have enough water
Having adequate amounts of water is not only applicable to humans, but also to trees. Trees in the urban area can survive the heat and the bugs if they have enough water. The study, published in the Journal of Applied Ecology, found that lack of water is a key stressor for city trees. The researchers […]
