Japan: The Fukushima Effect: Insidious Radiation Impact
2014-08-15 20:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Compared to the Chernobyl meltdown, the levels of radiation released by the Fukushima-Daiichi power plant disaster in 2011 were a drop in the bucket. Even so, a new series of studies has shown that certain types of birds, plants and insects in Japan are all suffering from the impacts of fallout. Researchers say studying these organisms will help them better understand the complex dangers of radiation. These studies were all recently published in the Journal of Heredity and detail observations...

Human impact on glacier melt increasing - study
2014-08-15 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RTCC: Human activity is playing an increasing role in the melting of glaciers, Austrian and Canadian scientists have found. One of the most disruptive effects of climate change, glacier retreat leads to rising sea levels, landslides and unpredictable availability of water downstream. Meanwhile, a separate study found ice discharge from the Antarctica could raise sea levels by up to 37cm this century, more than previously thought. Scientists and policymakers are calling for international collaboration...

Research Looks at Impact of Human Manure Used as Fertilizer
2014-08-14 00:37:00| National Hog Farmer
Source: American Society of Animal Science Much like livestock manure, biosolids, or human manure is often applied to land as fertilizer. In fact, approximately 50% of all human excrement in the U.S. is spread on various terrains. This is considered a cost-friendly, sustainable method of sewage disposal. Biosolids, or processed human sewage sludge, are normally treated to remove bacteria and pollutants before they are applied to land. However, some toxicants are resistant to degradation and remain in the treated product. Chemicals commonly referred to as endocrine disrupting compounds (EDC), which interact with and potentially alter physiological systems in the body, can be found in both unprocessed and processed biosolids. read more
