Odors can be measured by analytical chemistry
Usually, it takes a nose to smell, but now — for the first time — scientists have developed a convincing model able to measure odours from pig farms by means of precise measurements of the content of odorants in the atmosphere. How much and how bad does pig production facilities smell...Read more -
New model could help improve prediction of outbreaks of Ebola and Lassa fever
Potential outbreaks of diseases such as Ebola and Lassa fever may be more accurately predicted thanks to a new mathematical model developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge. This could in turn help inform public health messages to prevent outbreaks spreading more widely. Many of the ...Read more -
Estrogen, antibiotics persisted in dairy farm waste after advanced treatment, research finds
When University at Buffalo chemists began studying waste disposal at a dairy farm in New York State, they thought that the farm’s advanced system for processing manure would help remove estrogens and antibiotics from the excrement.
