Chemistry World July 27, 2012 Phillip Broadwith	Storm on the horizon for ozone levels Summer storms can inject water vapor high into the atmosphere and trigger processes that degrade the ozone layer, say US chemists.
Chemistry World July 24, 2012 Andrew Turley	UK urged to clean up London air Nitrogen dioxide levels are as bad in London as they are in Beijing, the last city to host the Summer Olympic Games and one with an at best dubious air quality record, according to a report from UK think tank Policy Exchange.
Chemistry World July 19, 2012 Hayley Birch	Ocean fertilization shows carbon sequestration promise New data from iron fertilization experiments in the Southern Ocean support the idea that artificially created algal blooms can draw carbon to the bottom of the ocean, where it may be stored for centuries.
Chemistry World July 19, 2012 Alexander Archibald	Chemistry in the atmosphere The Mechanisms of Atmospheric Oxidation of the Oxygenates by Calvert et al. is the fourth in a series dedicated to detailing the mechanisms of oxidation of volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere.
Chemistry World July 17, 2012 Nina Chadwick	Wind, wave, solar, biomass and more If you're interested in renewable energy or involved in any renewable energy research, Advanced Renewable Energy Sources by Tiwari and Mishra, provides an excellent overview.
Chemistry World July 13, 2012 Simon Hadlington	Where did Earth's water come from? One big question that remains unanswered about the evolution of the early Earth is how volatiles such as hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon arrived -- their presence being crucial to the origins of water and life.
AskMen.com July 10, 2012 Dave Golokhov	Heat And Mood It's been the warmest six months in United States history (on the mainland), and if the heat wave is getting to you, you're not the only one. According to a new study, we all get a bit cranky when it's hot out.
Chemistry World June 28, 2012 Laura Howes	Fracking given green light by UK report The controversial practice of fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, has been given a boost by a new report published today by the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change.
Chemistry World June 28, 2012 Jennifer Newton	Extracting nuclear energy from seawater It's estimated that there's more than 4.5 billion tons of uranium in the ocean. US scientists have used a ligand that can form a complex with a uranyl ion to enable uranium to be extracted from seawater.
Chemistry World June 27, 2012 Maria Burke	Mystery metal revealed by UK atmospheric inventory The first detailed analysis of air pollution in the UK for more than a decade has revealed some puzzling findings.
