Compared with burning coal, natural gas emits about half the carbon dioxide and substantially less soot, mercury and sulfur. Natural gas must be developed with safeguards to reduce impacts on water, air quality, land, nearby communities and ecosystems. —Mark Zoback, a professor of geophysics and NGI’s director.

In addition, the emphasis of this novel technology is on emission prevention through a patented ionic water scrubbing technique that reduces the greenhouse gas emissions and captures the sulfur, mercury and other contaminants as a solid byproduct. The technology can be manipulated to produce syngas with different H 2 to CO ratios.

A new systematic review by The Lancet found that “people living in e-waste exposed regions had significantly elevated levels of heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants,” and it advocated for “novel cost-effective methods for safe recycling operations … to ensure the health and safety of vulnerable populations.”

They managed to follow me through three states and five cities, and now sit on my intentionally organized pile of junk. One strange element of the Tartan track story is the fact that the original formulation used mercury, making it much more dangerous than it needed to be. I bought them from a junk store, and maybe paid $2 for them.

Reductions in the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and/or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to reduce ozone formation for improved air quality, also ameliorate climate impacts from ozone and VOCs.

These facilities at Oak Ridge are operated and managed by the Neutron Sciences Directorate , an organization with about 600 staff. In the case of ORNL’s SNS, the target is mercury. The adsorbed water allows detection by neutrons. Funding is provided by the US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Basic Energy Sciences.

Collectively, these industrial activities yield significant landscape disturbance and habitat loss and add to the controversy regarding water quantity and quality issues. The potential and realized emissions of pollutants, including greenhouse gases and mercury, are also contentious.
