Plants "spy" on their neighbors by sniffing out their growth spurts, reveals new research. They have the ability to detect ...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) encompass a diverse group of carbon‐containing gases emitted from both natural and anthropogenic sources. Once released into the lower atmosphere, VOCs undergo ...

(Beyond Pesticides, October 31, 2023) With cooler weather setting in and people heading indoors and closing windows, the issue of COVID-19 transmission escalates, as do concerns about toxic chemicals ...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) represent a diverse class of carbon-based chemicals that readily evaporate at ambient temperatures. In urban environments their emissions arise from vehicular exhaust ...

In a study published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases researchers found that compounds detected in exhaled breath may offer a promising, noninvasive way to better understand and monitor ...

A service program of RISE St. James; Caitlion O. Hunter, Esq.; Tim Schütz, PhD Researcher, Anthropology University of California, Irvine; and The Community Scientist (TCS) Research Team The vast ...

New research reveals that plants have the ability to detect their neighbors' growth rates through aromatic cues called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and subsequently adjust how much energy they ...

Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are liquids or solids used in consumer products that turn into gas when exposed to air and sunlight. Some VOCs have been linked to asthma, cancer and reproductive ...

Recent research is uncovering the link between exposure to semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) and changes in the gut microbiome. Scientists are particularly interested in how these products ...

Scientists are working on diagnostic techniques that could sniff out chemical compounds from breath, sweat, tears and other bodily emissions and that act as fingerprints of thousands of diseases. But ...

Early in the afternoon of Dec. 30, 2021, the Marshall Fire erupted in the grasslands outside two Denver suburbs. High-speed winds sent the blaze ripping through neighborhoods. Firefighters could ...
