Air quality impacted by emissions from cannabis growing facilities
Cannabis grows emit butane and biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) In this pilot study, scientists studied four cannabis grow facilities in Nevada and California to learn what chemicals were emitted during cultivation and processing of cannabis plants. In all four locations the scientists found high levels of strongly-scented airborne chemicals called biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs). These are naturally produced by the cannabis plants during growth and rep

Toxicity and negative health effects of nanoparticles
Inorganic nanoparticles can be produced via chemical or physical processes. Chemical synthesis involves using chemical reagents (e.g. sodium borohydride) to act as reducing and stabilizing agents, while physical methods use high external forces (e.g. temperature and pressure) to break down materials into nanoparticles. These methods produce toxic by-products that endanger living organisms and the environment. Further, the addition of precursor materials (e.g. polyvinyl alcoho
