Ethics of Transformation: Interviews with Chefs Provide Insights
Credit: Promoted from Pexel Anyone who likes to visit a local cafe is familiar with the following scenarios: When you buy lunch, the cashier turns the payment screen towards you. “This just requires a few questions.” The buttons on the screen ask you to leave a hint. Maybe a dollar or two, maybe part of the bill. But what happens…

Superhydrophobic particles provide a promising way to tackle water pollutants
Credit: Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering (2024). doi:10.1016/j.jece.2024.114419 Emerging pollutants are compounds such as edema systems, oils, dyes, pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, and other compounds that end in aquatic ecosystems and pose environmental and health risks. These contaminants associated with human activity can be found in wastewater, and removing them represents a scientific, technical and social challenge. Currently, a study led by…

Reed beds provide an environmentally friendly solution to sludge pollution management
Graphical summary. Credit: Soil and Environmental Health (2024). DOI: 10.1016/j.seh.2024.100083 Sludge, a byproduct of wastewater treatment, often contains hazardous substances such as heavy metals and excess nutrients, posing serious risks to the environment and health if not properly treated. Traditional processing methods rely heavily on chemicals and energy-intensive processes, making them less sustainable. Sludge treatment reed beds (STRBs) provide a…

Study finds that eddies provide upwelling nutrients and improve productivity around the Hawaiian Islands
Credit: Troy Squillaci from Pexels Other than colorful coral reefs and diverse coastal ecosystems, the Pacific waters surrounding the Hawaiian Islands are relatively devoid of marine life and have low biological productivity. A new study published by oceanographers at the University of Hawai’i (UH) Mānoa shows that eddies on the leeward side of the Hawaiian Islands can provide nutrients not…
