Generally, there is minimal evidence to support arguments that imports of liquefied natural gas into China will hugely impact coal usage in power generation. This is mainly because of the several reasons: China mainly relies on domestically produced resources Policies that were recently implemented to promote domestic production of natural gas were also geared toward limiting dependence…

Study Finds Toxic Traces in Biosolid Fertilizers

A new study has determined that fertilizers manufactured from treated wastewater may contain harmful organic chemicals. The study looked into the chemical makeup of biosolids in North America and could assist regulators in identifying compounds that need to be examined more carefully. Biosolids are used extensively as fertilizers in various areas, including golf courses and agricultural lands. They may, however, bear traces of industrial chemicals, fragrances and pharmaceuticals that could pose a risk not only to human health but also to the environment.
