The world shivered with fear. All the Countries responded quickly and the result is the Montreal protocol,1987, to ban ozone-depleting chemicals such as CFCs. Scientists say that the efforts that are being put since 1995 in restoring the Ozone […]

Researchers at University of York and Leeds discovered a previously unknown marine source of iodine oxide. They detected emissions of hypoiodus acid (HOI) gas, coupled with molecular iodine (I2). The gas was not considered […]

Compared to pure gasoline usage, ethanol increases health problems because of cancer-chemical formation.
