(Natural News) It’s common knowledge that oil spills kill fish and other wildlife, but a new study has identified a particularly toxic chemical found in crude oil that affects the cardiovascular systems of fish – and likely that of humans also.

(Natural News) The race is on to replace so-called “dirty” energy — which is created by burning fossil fuels from coal and oil and which pollutes the environment — with energy from cleaner sources like solar, wind and hydro power. Evidence of this change can be seen all around us in the form of wind […]

(Natural News) A 2001 study published in The Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases warned about the dangers of so-called “biosludge,” revealing that this human waste “fertilizer” often contains harmful pathogens, toxic metals, and other “environmentally persistent chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls and dioxins” that threaten human health. And yet, in the years since, the use […]

(Natural News) Mercury is listed as one of the top 10 chemical concerns for public health, as per the World Health Organization (WHO). Over half of Swedish lakes have very high mercury levels, and eating fish from these bodies of water can pose a threat to people’s health and wildlife. The matter seems hopeless, but results […]

(Natural News) In order to survive deadly droughts, plants rely on the protective effects of sulfate. A recently completed study explained that the mineral regulates the release of a beneficial hormone that helps a plant cope with the severe stress of drought. Sulfate is a salt derived from sulfuric acid. Naturally present in groundwater, it is absorbed by […]
