Scientists have discovered that the water chemistry in the Hood Canal and the Puget Sound, US, main basin is becoming more "acidified," or corrosive, as the ocean absorbs more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. These changes could have considerable impacts on the region"s shellfish industry over the next several decades. The study, co-sponsored by NOAA, the University of Washington Applied ...
On May 13, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported a preliminary daily average carbon dioxide (CO2) reading of 400.07 parts per million (ppm) at the Mauna Loa Observatory on the Big Island of Hawaii. On May 9, a reading over 400 ppm was reported at the site for the first time ever. But that reading (400.03 ppm) was later revised to 399.89 ppm. The first CO2 ...
Recent observations have suggested that the air above Alaska may already hold the first signs of a regional increase in greenhouse gas emissions that could contribute to climate change around the globe. To learn more about the region’s emissions, NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colo., has teamed up with the U.S. Coast Guard at Kodiak Island. The two partners are flying NOAA ...
Picarro, Inc., the world's leading provider of instruments for carbon and water cycle measurements, today announced a new carbon isotope analyzer with three times the precision and four times the stability of Picarro's current industry-leading isotopic CO2 instruments. With a performance specification of 0.1 per mil precision for 13C/12C ...

LAR's QuickTOCpurity is a tailor-made TOC analyzer (total organic carbon) for pure water and ultra pure water. The sample is injected via a special injection loop, avoiding any environmental influences to the sample. The heart of the TOC analyzer is the oven, where the thermal oxidation takes place. It works with the ultra high ...

The water analyzer QuickTOCeffluent from LAR Process Analysers AG is an online total organic carbon (TOC) analyzer especially designed for water with a low-particle density at the plant’s effluent. T he water sample is sucked into the analyzer by means of a pump. Then, the sample is injected from a ...
To meet our immediate energy needs without exacerbating climate change, most experts agree, we’ll need to find a way to store the carbon dioxide given off by the combustion of coal, oil and natural gas. But no full-scale storage systems exist, and the plans to create them have many unknowns. New projects at MIT could help to fill that information gap. At the American Geophysical Union’s fall ...
A single typhoon in Taiwan buries as much carbon in the ocean - in the form of sediment - as all the other rains in that country all year long combined. That's the finding of an Ohio State University study published in a recent issue of the journal Geology. The study - the first ever to examine the chemistry of stream water and sediments that were being washed out to sea while a typhoon was ...
ETG-LGR instruments provide fast measurements of isotopic ratios (δ2H, δ17O, δ18O, δ13C) in blood, urine, plasma, saliva and breath. No longer limited by time consuming sample preparation, equilibration, or pre-concentration processes, fast and precise measurements may be obtained by untrained personnel in real time at a fraction of the cost. For example, traditional ...
LGR’s new CH4/CO2/H2O/NH3 Analyzer reports measurements of ammonia, methane, carbon dioxide, water vapor simultaneously in a package that is compact, crushproof and travels anywhere. Small enough to be carried on-board aircraft (TSA approved size) and requiring less than 70 W, the analyzer offers new opportunities to quickly, reliably and accurately measure trace gas emissions anywhere. As ...
The parameters' combination in one unit reduces the investment costs, support and maintenance efforts and enables an efficient monitoring of waste water treatment plants effluent. The QuickTOCNPO of LAR Process Analysers, Germany, is an online analyzer for the ...
California's cities and counties must take action now to combat global warming by limiting emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, says California Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. In 534 letters mailed statewide, Brown invited mayors, local planning directors, and county supervisors to attend workshops this spring where they can learn practical ways of reducing greenhouse ...
Ecotech, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of environmental monitoring equipment is pleased to announce U.S. EPA approval for its new Serinus gas analyzer range. According to Ecotech’s General Manager, Nicholas Dal Sasso, the approvals are a vital step in the global launch of the new product line. “We are pleased to obtain U.S. EPA approval for the entire range of Serinus gas analyzers,” ...
Casella Monitor, manufacturer of Ambient Air Quality gas analyzers and systems for the natural environment, has successfully attained MCERTS approval for the ML98000 Series Ambient Gas Analyzers for Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Ozone (O3) – giving UK and European customers renewed confidence in the analyzers performance and extra security that data and ...
Global funding for carbon capture and storage technology, a tool for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, remained unchanged at US$23.5 billion in 2011 in comparison to the previous year, according to a new report from the Worldwatch Institute. Although there are currently 75 large-scale, fully integrated carbon capture and storage projects in 17 countries at various stages of development, ...
Firms and large public sector organizations face increasing pressure from energy costs and climate change regulations to measure, manage and analyze energy and carbon dioxide emissions data. To resolve this cost and compliance challenge a new report from Verdantix, the independent business research firm, highlights ten “Smart Vendors” that offer software solutions for carbon ...
