Researchers have developed a new sensor that could allow practical and low-cost detection of low concentrations of methane gas. Measuring methane emissions and leaks is important to a variety of ...

Researchers have developed a simple logger for greenhouse gas flows. It is built using inexpensive and easily available parts, and provides data on levels of methane, carbon dioxide, temperature and ...

You’ve seen the images: floating islands of plastic in the ocean, marine life entangled in nets and lines. Whether in the ocean or on land, plastic pollutants—and their effects—are often visible. But ...

Methane from agricultural and industrial sources represents a significant issue in climate change, since although not as abundant as carbon dioxide the hydrocarbon is known to be a more potent ...

Detecting the presence of harmful gases was a necessity for early miners as well as manufacturers and consumers at the start of the industrial revolution. One of the first gas detectors was a flame ...
