Oil refineries release billions of pounds of pollution into waterways each year, according to regulatory data. NPR found that pollution is concentrated near places where people of color live.

Scientists at the University of Stirling have developed a new method of monitoring the presence of pathogens in rivers polluted by wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).

In fact, the molecular destruction of PFAS increased from 10% to nearly 100% when compared to other ultraviolet water-treatment methods, while no other undesirable byproducts or impurities are ...

They targeted “anionic dyes,” because there are not many effective methods to remove these types of dye from water. Nashef’s hopes his high-efficiency material can make a dent in the sector ...

United States-based Nigerian environmental researcher Odunola Odofin is gaining international recognition for her innovative work on combating global water pollution through sustainable, low-cost ...

Researchers have developed a more precise method for detecting fecal contamination in water using viral DNA markers, allowing them to trace even low-level pollution and identify whether it’s ...

However, Stirling scientists say this method may miss pathogens because discharge events from WWTPs are unpredictable and the receiving water is constantly changing.
