Environmental Analysis

Scientists are looking into using nitrogen as a substitute for helium in detecting persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in gas chromatography (GC).

Scientists recently analyzed the chromatographic profiles of postmortem bacterial species and their volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC).

The “farmer-managed natural regeneration,” or FMNR, project has been ongoing for more than two years, aimed at re-greening deforested land.

Governments are striving to implement policy changes towards a greater use of green technology, specifically around the generation of energy. Individuals and industrial organizations have also taken up the challenge, and now many companies are driving to significantly reduce their environmental footprint, or indeed become carbon negative within very short time frames.

Robust linear regression, stepwise linear regression, and linear regression were tested, compared, and combined in this experimental setup, in an effort to address an environmental problem with short- and long-term effects.
