(Natural News) A recent review of scientific literature has shown that the air in unconventional oil and gas (UOG) facilities – such as fracking wells – are laden with hundreds of potentially dangerous chemicals. Of those air pollutants, more than 30 may harm hormones and the endocrine system, according to a West Virginia Public Broadcasting article. Published in the […]

(Natural News) Experts say you need to get around 2 liters of fluids every day to be healthy and hydrated, but one unexpected ingredient found in bottled water could actually be working against you even as you try to enhance your health: microplastic. A recent CBC marketplace investigation into bottled water on the market found […]

(Natural News) Researchers from the California State University (CSU) found that marine vegetation could play a significant role in minimizing ocean acidification (OA), a phenomenon wherein the ocean waters become too acidic due to higher concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. Ocean acidification is a chemical reaction brought about by a significant reduction of pH levels […]

(Natural News) Everyone knows how important water is to sustain life, but we’re about to find out how important water is to sustain American life as we know it.  Weather patterns and conditions have been changing for years throughout the American West — no, not due to “human-caused climate change,” but just normal, evolutionary climate […]

(Natural News) Water pollution is a serious problem in many parts of the world. It’s particularly dangerous in places where toxic chemicals such as arsenic can be found as contaminants, thereby, putting the lives of people living in the area at great risk of arsenic poisoning. Now, a team of researchers has discovered a new […]

(Natural News) There was a time when the sea was the go-to place for keeping the body clean and catching fresh fish free from harmful chemicals. Beach lovers didn’t think twice about swimming there because they knew it was perfectly safe, and good for their health besides. But recent figures show that those who hesitate […]

(Natural News) There are many places in the world suffering from water shortages. As such, scientists are constantly looking for ways to alleviate this, trying to come up with possible solutions that can be implemented in the real world today. Now a group of researchers from Penn State and the University of Texas at Dallas (UT […]

(Natural News) A new report shows just how serious fluorinated chemical pollution has become. The problem has grown dramatically since it was first reported in American drinking water and communities 20 years ago, with the number of contaminated sites rising steadily despite the fact that some of these chemicals are no longer used. PFAS are […]

(Natural News) There is no doubt that pharmaceutical drug use is on the increase globally. In addition to the detrimental effects the use of such drugs have on our health, their distribution also causes widespread harm to the environment. A study presented recently at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly, found that if urgent and […]

(Natural News) Scientists have developed 3-D printed solutions to solve one of the most devastating man-made disasters. They looked at leaf structure to create a material that can separate oil and water, which has potential applications in safer and more efficient oil spill clean-up methods. The researchers used 3D printing to mimic a biological phenomenon in leaves […]
