University of Adelaide research has uncovered how the metal cadmium, which is accumulating in the food chain, causes toxicity in living cells.

New research from the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry may help millions stick to a common resolution: quitting smoking

Buck Rogers surely couldn’t have seen this one coming, but at NASA’s request, University of Florida researchers have figured out how to turn human waste -- yes, that kind -- into rocket fuel.

Problem: An emergency spill response plan is part of every laboratory safety protocol. However, despite all the best precautions, accidents can happen! Laboratories often house chemicals such as acids, bases, solvents and flammables—all of which can be toxic to human health and the environment if used incorrectly or spilled.

Late summer is the peak time for harmful algae that can turn lakes into toxic scum, canceling fishing trips and fouling water supplies. While the Pacific Northwest doesn’t get anything near the activity that turned parts of Lake Erie into bright green slime, our coasts are vulnerable in late summer to this largely unpredictable – and in our case unseen – menace.

Disposing of unwanted or outdated lab chemicals has always been somewhat of a troublesome, expensive, and sometimes outright dangerous process. Ironically, the introduction in the UK of legislation designed to make this practice simpler has not, in our experience, always had the desired effect.

Get fun facts about glove boxes, a list of questions to ask when buying glove boxes, the most recent glove box releases, and an updated glove box manufacturer's list in this section.

New research indicates that nearly a quarter of all e-waste generated by developed countries floods into just seven developing countries.

How digital systems can save money, eliminate safety risks, and increase productivity

The use of warning signs to designate particular hazards is not just a good idea. It’s the law.

In this interactive webinar, a discussion of OSHA and ANSI standards sets the stage for an in-depth analysis of laboratory glasses, goggles, face shields, eyewash fountains, contact lenses and safety shields.

Say you forgot about Valentine’s Day, and it’s too late to send that certain someone some roses. Someday, you’ll at least be able to send their scent
