What Happens to Microplastics in the Ocean?

6 days ago | azocleantech.com | Laura Thomson |Ankit Singh

Reviewed by Laura ThomsonMicroplastics are plastic particles smaller than 5 mm and have become one of the most widespread pollutants in marine ecosystems. They originate from the breakdown of larger plastics or are intentionally created for products like cosmetics and textiles. These tiny particles can be found throughout the ocean, from surface waters to deep-sea trenches.
Microplastics in Drinking Water: Should We Be Worried?

1 week ago | azocleantech.com | Laura Thomson |Samudrapom Dam

Reviewed by Laura ThomsonMicroplastics have become an increasingly significant environmental and public health issue in recent years. Once primarily associated with marine pollution, these tiny particles are now commonly detected in freshwater sources and bottled and tap water. Their pervasive distribution, combined with the chemicals and biofilms they can transport, has heightened concerns about their potential effects on human health.
Japan Could Slash CO2 Emissions by 87% with PV and EV Systems

Novel Approach to Energy-Efficient Ammonia Production

2 weeks ago | azocleantech.com | Laura Thomson

Researchers from the University of Tokyo were among the first to combine atmospheric nitrogen, water, and sunlight. They used two catalysts to create large amounts of ammonia at a low energy cost. Their processes mimic natural mechanisms observed in plants that rely on symbiotic bacteria. The study was published in the journal Nature Communications. Ammonia is a chemical necessary for many industrial and agricultural processes, but the energy cost of producing it is extremely high.
