From September 1, 2018, the use of five neonicotinoid pesticides are banned in France, making the nation stricter than the European Union, which has only banned three of the five popular pesticides. The move comes after various studies demonstrated the potential harmful impact of the nicotine-based chemicals on bees and aquatic invertebrates. Dr Rachael Benstead, senior aquatic ecotoxicologist at...

Scientists at the John Innes Centre are relying on automatic photobioreactors from algal specialists Algenuity to look more closely at algal blooms – a phenomenon that is increasingly becoming an issue and has been linked to extreme weather patterns. Professor Rob Field, a Project Leader at the centre, explained: “Our work so far has centred on the Prymnesium golden algae. These produce a toxin lethal to gill-breathing organisms which has major implications in fish farming worldwide...

New research from Northumbria University has revealed that metal-related pollution began in the Balkans more than 500 years before it appeared in western Europe, and persisted throughout the Dark Ages and Medieval Period, meaning the region played a far bigger role in mineral exploitation than previously believed. The study provides a new perspective on both the timing...
Robert Gordon University (RGU) has received a boost this week with the news that the Scottish Government’s new Chief Scientific Advisor Marine has chosen to be based at the university’s School of Pharmacy and Life Sciences. Professor Colin Moffat, a marine scientist and researcher, has recently been appointed as Chief Scientific Advisor Marine to the Scottish Government...

analytica China 2018 will open at Hall E1—E4, Shanghai New International Expo Center from October 31 to November 2, 2018. Originally using three halls, the exhibition will expand to four halls. As a result, the exhibition space will grow from 35,000 to 46,000 square meters. National and district pavilions, including Germany, UK, Japan and Taiwan will showcase and over 27,000 professional...
Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences, Technische Universität Wien and the Medical University of Vienna present the findings of the largest water hygiene study of its kind. Despite wastewater management and treatment plants, human waste remains the main source of microbial faecal pollution in the river Danube. This is the most notable finding of a comprehensive analysis of faecal pollution in the Danube. The study used a new molecular genetics method that enables the clear differentiation of human microbial....
When working in laboratories and hospitals, it’s crucial that any contaminants found in water are removed immediately, before they cause any damage. Each impurity carries its own risks to chemical and biological research, not to mention the detrimental effect they cause to the quality of pure water. Here, Triple Red discuss the 8 main types of water contaminants, and how they can be prevented....
Environmentalists in Scotland have created mobile phones for SEALS in order to track their movements and feeding habits.
The technology was developed following alarming revelations that the Harbor Seal population in the Orkney Islands has gone down by about 70 per cent in the last ten years. In order to identify the cause, the University of St Andrews Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU) teamed up with Vodafone....
