Researchers from Nihon University in Japan have reported widespread global contamination of sea sand and sea water with the endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA) and said that the BPA probably originated from a surprising source: hard plastic trash discarded in the oceans and the epoxy plastic paint used to seal the hulls of ships.

Researchers at Fudan University (Shanghai, China) have converted the marine macroalgae Enteromorpha prolifera , one of the main algae genera for “green tide”—massive algal blooms caused by eutrophication of marine water bodies—to bio-oil by hydrothermal liquefaction in a batch reactor at temperatures of 220-320 °C.

Researchers at Mississippi State University are developing technology that would alert pipeline managers about leaks as soon as failure begins, avoiding the environmental disasters and fuel distribution disruptions resulting from pipeline leaks. We no longer have to wait until the leak is out of hand. —Veera Gnaneswar Gude, Ph.D.,

An international study of 10 global cities found that a balance of geophysical factors (climate, access to resources, and gateway status) and technical factors (power generation, urban design, and waste processing) determine the greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) attributable to cities.

Among the engine’s potential applications are power washers, electric generators, lawn equipment, welders, marine propulsion and possibly some hybrid vehicles. So when you open the exhaust valve to dump expanded gas out to the environment, you lose all of that energy stored in the high-pressure exhaust gases and you create a lot of noise.
