 Report: Soap and water as effective as environment-damaging antibacterial cleanersBy Ben Kage, January 8 2007
(NewsTarget) According to a report in the January issue of the Harvard Health Letter, regular soap and water is just as effective as hand sanitizers and antibacterial soap when used correctly and frequently.
Past studies have revealed that 15 seconds of hand washing with regular soap and water eliminates 90 percent of bacteria, said Harvard Health Letter editor Dr. Anthony Komaroff, but he noted that a large number of people failed to wash their hands regularly and dry them properly. The report...
 Bush Administration agrees to protect polar bears as global warming destroys habitatBy Ben Kage, January 5 2007
(NewsTarget) The stance of the Bush administration is that global warming does not have an effect on the world environment, but on Dec. 28, the administration agreed that protection was needed for polar bears, whose habitat is in peril from rapidly melting Arctic sea ice.
"Polar bears are one of nature's ultimate survivors, able to live and thrive in one of the world's harshest environments," said U.S. Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne in a news release. "But we are concerned the polar...
 Coal emissions blanket China with pollutionBy Ben Kage, January 4 2007
(NewsTarget) China is enjoying dynamic growth of late, but the coal-fired economic boom has severe environmental consequences, including massive toxic clouds visible even from space.
The great coal rush in China -- brought on by its voracious power needs -- is the biggest since the 19th century. Coal seems the natural answer as oil is considered too expensive at $60 a barrel, and alternative power sources such as hydroelectric power and wind power compensate for only a fraction of the country's...
 States sue the EPA over air quality standardsBy Jerome Douglas, December 29 2006
(NewsTarget) The state-based lawsuit was filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and it states as a main argument that the EPA has ignored the advice of its own scientists. The suit suggests that the EPA should lower the acceptable level for airborne soot -- known as fine particulate matter -- to 13 or 14 micrograms per cubic meter of air -- down from the current 15-microgram level that took effect just this week. The states claim that the federal agency failed to...

 By 2040, there will be no ice left at the North Pole, scientists predictBy Jerome Douglas, December 19 2006
(NewsTarget) A study published in the Geophysical Research Letters journal this week indicated that the Arctic pole could go from winter wonderland to warm water in a little over 30 years.
Currently, Earth's North Pole is already warmer than the South Pole because it lies at sea-level in the middle of an ocean. This causes the pole to act as a heat collector rather than at altitude in a continental land mass like the South Pole.
The North Pole sea ice is about two to three meters thick with...
 Small-scale nuclear war could devastate global environment for years, researchers sayBy Ben Kage, December 18 2006
(NewsTarget) The environmental impacts of a nuclear war -- nuclear winter, decades of radiation fallout -- are terrifying enough, but a team of researchers concluded today that even a small-scale, regional nuclear war could vastly disrupt the global climate for a decade or longer.
"Considering the relatively small number and size of the weapons, the effects are surprisingly large," said Richard Turco, a researcher from the University of California, Los Angeles. "The potential devastation would...
 Cattle raised for beef cause more damage to planet than emissions from cars, report findsBy Ben Kage, December 14 2006
(NewsTarget) Rising gas prices and global warming issues have spurred an increased interest in clean cars, but a report by the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization suggests that the real culprit for the latter problem isn't the car but the cow.
