Stable isotope constraints on Holocene carbon cycle changes from an Antarctic ice core.

22 Sep 2009 Reconstructions of atmospheric CO(2) concentrations based on Antarctic ice cores reveal significant changes during the Holocene epoch, but the processes responsible for these changes in CO(2) concentrations have not been unambiguously identified. ... Read more...

New particle formation in forests inhibited by isoprene emissions.

15 Sep 2009 It has been suggested that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are involved in organic aerosol formation, which in turn affects radiative forcing and climate. The most abundant VOCs emitted by terrestrial vegetation are isoprene and its derivatives, ... Read more...

Zero-valent aluminum for oxidative degradation of aqueous organic pollutants.

13 Sep 2009 Oxidative degradation of aquatic organic contaminants using zero-valent aluminum (ZVAl) in the presence of dissolved oxygen (O2) was investigated. The metal corrosion process in acidic conditions (pH < 4) was accompanied by electron transfer from ... Read more...
