Recipes for cleaner air

Article Abstract:

The use of uranium-based catalysts may aid in reducing the emission of pollutants such as hydrocarbons and chloro-organic compounds that are difficult to destroy economically and safely. Uranium oxide-based catalysts break down several chloro-organic compounds at relatively low temperatures leading to reduced energy costs. The catalysts act without resulting in harmful reaction by-products and deactivation problems of conventional precious-metal catalysts. Public opinion towards uranium-based catalysts is a barrier to the commercialization of this technique.

Conflicts of interest on the greenhouse

Article Abstract:

The differences among the developed and underdeveloped countries about the long range environmental ill effects of greenhouse gases and possible ways to tackle them came out in the open at the Berlin conference held in 1995. The underdeveloped countries do not want their economic development to be unduly hampered due to a restriction on the use of traditional fossil fuels.
