-(Natural News) In a case of fighting fire with fire, Missouri-based researchers used a type of bacteria to produce the active material for making the membrane of a water filter. When exposed to light, the material released heat that killed harmful bacteria, thereby preventing the biological fouling of the filter. In response to the increasing strain […]

-(Natural News) The problem of plastic pollution in the oceans is no longer a myth, but a reality that is getting increasingly harder to ignore — especially now that the World Economic Forum (WEF) has said that the amount of plastics in the ocean will outweigh the amount of fish in the foreseeable future. In a […]

-(Natural News) According to experts, we must come up with less-harmful options to road salt when winter comes and roads turn into dangerous “ice rinks.” Researchers believe that road salt is now harming the country’s waterways and that various organisms such as fish, frogs, and microscopic zooplankton could be in danger. For years, salt has been […]

-(Natural News) Investigators have finally found out the horrific origin of the toxic chemicals in groundwater discovered in southwest Maine last spring. Seacoast Online reported that the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs) in the West Kennebunk well came from a small farm that served as a dumping ground for biosludge and corporate wastewater decades ago.

Latest research suggests that microplastics are wreaking havoc all the way up to the marine food web
-(Natural News) Microplastics are so small that they may seem harmless, but they’re polluting oceans and poisoning marine life by the second. According to an article on The Revelator, microplastics can absorb chemicals, which is bad news for the birds, fish, seals, and even humans that unwittingly consume these pollutants. The author of the article […] -
-(Natural News) According to a new study, dangerous superbug E. coli is spreading among surfers and bodyboarders. Data from the report has revealed that since regular surfers often ingest contaminated seawater, they are more vulnerable than swimmers. The former can swallow as much as 10 times more seawater compared to the latter. Researchers share that surfers and bodyboarders […]

-(Natural News) Iowa State University (ISU)’s landmark lake floating islands research project is being re-established this year since its first run in 2015. The Lake LaVerne Floating Islands project was intended to measure the nutrient uptake from the water of the LaVerne lake and then to design, construct, and monitor the amount of carbon the […]

-(Natural News) Minnesota’s farmers are using more fertilizer than needed, say the state’s agricultural officials. The state government’s response to regulate the use of nitrogen fertilizer – a bid to ensure clean drinking water at, according to detractors, the risk of impairing one of Minnesota’s biggest industries – is seemingly a question of which gets […]

-(Natural News) Researchers from Aarhus University in Denmark have linked increased levels of nitrate found in drinking water to the risk of developing colon and rectal cancer. The results of the study, published in the International Journal of Cancer, also revealed that the risk factors for developing the conditions occur at concentrations far below the current drinking […]

-(Natural News) Three wastewater disposal sites in western Pennsylvania have been analyzed to contain as much as 650 times higher radioactive sediments than unaffected sites upstream. These numbers are made even more shocking considering that more than seven years have passed since Pennsylvania’s government restricted the disposal of fracking wastewater into these sites. Authors of […]
