 | University of Colorado opens lab focused on detecting, treating pharmaceuticals in water The University of Colorado’s Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering this week announced the opening of the Center for Environmental Mass Spectrometry (CEMS), a laboratory focusing on the detection of pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic contaminants in water and evaluating the effectiveness of methods for removing these compounds. Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) is providing the core liquid chromatograph/mass spectrometer (LC/MS) instrumentation for the lab. The topic of pharmaceuticals in drinking water recently gained increased visibility when an ... | ||||
 | Finer particles give more useful air quality data, says new research New air quality research indicates that measuring ultra-fine particles can distinguish between particles generated through human activities, such as combustion, and larger particles, which are more likely to arise from mechanical processes and natural sources. The smallest air particles are from combustion sources such as vehicles and power plants, and easily enter the body. However, air quality measurements today typically focus on larger particles from mechanical processes, which may be less relevant from a health perspective. Air quality standards in Europe were developed using PM2.5 ... | ||||
