RUDN University biologist with colleagues from Iran, Canada, Thailand and Turkey found that the red algae Halopithys incurva increase the immunity of fish. This means that such algae can be used as a food additive in fish farming. This will reduce the need for overuse of antibiotics.
Listeria bacteria are ubiquitous in the environment and consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes is one of the main routes for food-borne outbreaks.
Sustainability is possible everywhere, even in the food that we leave behind. Associate Professor Dr. Nuta Supakata, Deputy Program Director and lecturer of the Environmental Science Department, Faculty of Science, presented research findings from the “Nonthaburi Municipality or Nakhon Non Model of Sustainable Food Waste Management”.

KIST developed a photocatalyst that can completely decompose a trace amount of alcohol in water within a short duration by adding a very trace amount of copper to iron oxide, which is used as a catalyst during the advanced oxidation process.
There is currently a race to develop edible tags for food so that, for example, you can see where the food comes from or its ingredients, and the information disappears once you’ve eaten it.
Join federal scientists as they share the latest nutrition research on Dietary Added Sugars, Complex Carbohydrates, Botanicals and Flavonoids.
Researchers reporting in ACS Sensors have designed a food-grade device from edible materials that lets you know if food has been thawed and refrozen . The proof-of-concept sensor provides a color readout when it’s warmed above a specific temperature, which is tunable from -58 F to 32 F.
While achieving the United Nations (UN) ambitious Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) for wastewater treatment would cause substantial improvements in global water quality, severe water quality issues would contain to persist in some world regions.
Scientists are ringing alarm bells about a significant new threat to U.S. water quality: as winters warm due to climate change, they are unleashing large amounts of nutrient pollution into lakes, rivers, and streams. The first-of-its-kind national study finds that previously frozen winter nutrient pollution—unlocked by rising winter temperatures and rainfall—is putting water quality at risk in 40% of the contiguous U.S., including over 40 states.
Was it something you ate? A Penn State Health expert talks about food-borne illnesses – the symptoms and when you should seek help.
Urban gardens and farms are on the rise in the U.S., but urban soils are sometimes contaminated from legacy pollution and industrial use.
Record of past volcanic eruptions — and potential hazards to health — revealed by low water levels at dwindling local tap source.
The Clean Water Act Symposium features discussions about the effect of climate change on water and pollution and the premier screening of film Upstream, Downriver. The event organized by American University’s Center for Environmental Policy and Center for Environmental Filmmaking, in partnership with American Rivers and the Clean Water for All Coalition, will bring together national and international environmental experts to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Clean Water Act. The film tells the story of the Clean Water Act and its value to the nation.
As the White House prepares for the first conference on hunger, nutrition and health in more than 50 years, public health officials point out that providing access to safe potable drinking water must be part of the national conversation. Low income and minority populations in the US are less likely to drink plain water and also have negative perceptions about tap water, which has been associated with consuming high sugar beverages. This can lead to health issues ranging from cavities to having a higher Body Mass Index and risks factors for diabetes.
Ten years after the state of California recognized the human right to water, hundreds of thousands of residents still rely on drinking water that contains dangerous levels of contaminants, including the highly toxic mineral arsenic.
