InsideClimate: A new study brings researchers and environmental advocates closer than ever to tracing whether toxic chemicals spewing out of natural gas production sites are making their way into the bodies of people who live and work nearby. The research, published last week, brought together for the first time air monitoring at oil and gas sites with what's called biomonitoring--the tracking of what's in human tissues or fluids. The results indicate harmful compounds were emitted from certain gas sites near...
Collecting data to protect Australia's waters from toxic algal blooms

PhysOrg: Diatoms are largely unseen due to their microscopic size but they are the most abundant and diverse single-celled phytoplankton (or microalgae) in the ocean. These ancient lifeforms arose during the Triassic period, about 200-250 million years ago. They house themselves in intricate glass cases, the patterns and structures of which delight artists, architects and engineers as well as marine biologists. Take a breath But are they really important? Take a breath in. Ocean phytoplankton produce...

Whistleblower Says EPA Officials Covered Up Toxic Fracking Methane Emissions for Years
2016-06-10 16:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Why has the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) failed to take adequate action against disastrous, climate-warming methane emissions from the fracking industry? An environmental watchdog alleges that the answer may be a years-long, systematic cover-up of the true data surrounding these toxic emissions. That cover-up, the group says, was at the hands of at least one EPA researcher who accepted payments from the oil and gas industry. In an incendiary federal complaint filed on Wednesday...

Nature World: NASA's satellites also function as an observatory for climate change and weather behavior on Earth. These satellites were proven to be helpful in the recent findings by NASA scientists in partnership with the Environment and Climate Change Canada, who discovered that there are 39 unreported sources of toxic air pollution on Earth.
