Chemistry World October 21, 2013 Simon Hadlington	Neonicotinoids let virus thrive in bees Scientists in Italy believe they have found a molecular trigger by which neonicotinoid pesticides may harm colonies of honeybees.
Chemistry World October 21, 2013 Philip Ball	Chemistry's climate of scepticism It could be important for chemists to consider whether (and if so, why) there is an unusually high proportion of climate-change doubters in their ranks.
Chemistry World October 18, 2013 Hepeng Jia	China blamed for mercury on iconic Mount Fuji Amid a simmering row between China and Japan over an island territory dispute, new research claims that the atmosphere above Japan's iconic Mount Fuji is being polluted with mercury by Chinese industry.
Chemistry World October 15, 2013 Jessica Cocker	Banned pollutants bite back A new study from scientists in Denmark and the UK says another worrying consequence of global temperature rises is that, as sea ice melts, banned pesticides are being reemitted into the open environment.
Fast Company November 2013 Jeff Chu	Against The Tide The Dutch have a growing army of engineers, designers, and scientists who work with water, as the Netherlands built itself into the world's premier laboratory for how to tame the rivers and the seas. Today, the country's ideas and expertise may be its most valuable export.
Fast Company November 2013 Jeff Chu	A River Runs Through It The River Waal has brought trade and wealth to 2,008-year-old Nijmegen, the most ancient city in the Netherlands. But it also presents danger.
Fast Company November 2013 Jeff Chu	A New New Amsterdam? In 2011, when Hurricane Irene hit New York, it prompted city officials to ask Dutch expert Jeroen Aerts for advice on flood protection.
Chemistry World October 3, 2013 John Hoskins	Unraveling environmental disasters A good textbook should have an appropriate intellectual level and be balanced in the presentation of its content. Sadly, it is clear that this book about environmental disasters satisfies neither criterion.
Chemistry World August 29, 2013 Emma Stoye	US rivers turned alkaline by acid rain A team at the University of Maryland, US, surveyed 97 rivers across a region stretching from Florida to New Jersey, and revealed that two thirds of them have become more alkaline over the past 25 -- 60 years.
Chemistry World August 25, 2013 Daniel Johnson	Unconsidered chemistry could amplify global warming A link between the world's oceans' pH and climate change that has, until now, passed unnoticed could dramatically speed up global warming by lowering production of a smelly molecule, dimethyl sulfide, important for cloud formation.
