The chemistry of photography is based on photosensitivity and reactions with light. The chemical processes that create a traditional photograph start inside the camera with the absorption of photons.

Your support makes all the difference. Scientists discovered PFAS (perfluoroalkyl substances), chemicals that do not break down in nature, in more than 99 per cent of bottled water samples sourced ...

Specific molecular property of lignin in trees determines difficulty of using microbial fermentation to turn trees and other plants into industrial chemicals. Trees are the most abundant natural ...

Toxic chemicals known as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) might have harmful health effects. They are known as "forever chemicals" because they never break down and, when taken in, ...

Toxic "forever chemicals" have been found in drinking water samples from around the world, new research has warned. PFAS, which stands for per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances, are a class of ...

How do complex mixtures of chemicals affect our health? New research has shown that chemicals that occur in complex mixtures and in concentration ratios as found in humans act together.

Researchers found 10 'target' PFAS (perfluoroalkyl substances)—chemicals which do not break down in nature—in tap and bottled water available for consumption in major cities in the UK and China.

In focused research groups, students and faculty within WPI’s Chemical Engineering Department go beyond the classroom to solve real-world problems, continuing to make discoveries in areas like ...

Scientists have discovered toxic ‘Forever Chemicals’ present in samples of drinking water from around the world, a new study reveals. Researchers found 10 ‘target’ PFAS (perfluoroalkyl substances) – ...

“I was presented with a fait accompli when the revelations about PFAS (forever chemicals) came out,” Mounib, the president of the association ‘Bien Vivre à Pierre-Bénite’ told Euronew ...

It seems that the water used to extinguish the fire reacted with pool chemicals in the plant, which made the cloud more noxious. It’s always something. From The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ...
