Unconventional oil and gas development (UOGD, sometimes termed "fracking" or "hydraulic fracturing") is an industrial process to extract methane gas and/or oil deposits. Many chemicals used in UOGD have known adverse human health effects. Canada is a major producer of UOGD-derived gas with ...
New research published in 2022 has linked gas stove pollution to negative health effects, prompting federal regulators to consider potential legislation. Health experts say that gas stoves may pose an elevated risk to respiratory health due to a byproduct of burning methane gas in kitchens, known ...
Using the GTP (Global Temperature Potential), we estimated how switching from coal to gas would affect the power plant fleet's contribution to global temperature until 2040, the last year for which EIA (Energy Information Agency) forecasts emissions and generation. We varied the fugitive methane ...

This continued process is known as the greenhouse effect, and the gasses that are responsible for maintaining this heat are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. They continued, “Over time, the amount of greenhouse gases trapped in the earth’s atmosphere has increased significantly, ...
Extensive research has been conducted on the environmental and health effects of heavy metals and organic compounds released from recycled rubber. Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is commonly employed as a catalyst in the process of tire rubber vulcanization, and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are added as...
of organic waste, primarily consists of methane and can be utilized for cooking, heating, or electricity generation. Bioenergy is considered environmentally friendly as it often involves the utilization of materials that can be replenished, contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and ...
3. Health promoting effects of mung bean Based on the high constituents and efficacy of the bioactive compounds, mung beans are playing a greater role in radical scavenging activities, detoxification, and also exhibits chemo-preventive effects. These compounds have the potential health benefit as a ...
Safety symbols can portray required actions, consequences, explicit direction, or the effects of interaction with certain chemicals, machines, and other hazards. Signs and labels may include more than one pictorial to show a sequence of events for one hazard. Safety symbols should be consistent, ...
