However, that’s not the only thing that the melting snow will release. Researchers from º«¹úÂãÎè and École de technologie supérieure in Montreal have found that urban snow accumulates a toxic cocktail from car emissions - pollutants that are in turn unleashed into the environment as the weather warms up.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/exhaust-pipe.jpg?itok=_xdNvFhQ" width="160" height="106" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">4 </span><span class="month">April </span><span class="year">2017</span></div></div></div></div></div> Tue, 04 Apr 2017 15:30:25 +0000 webfull 126866 at /channels /channels/news/even-if-snows-not-yellow-you-might-not-want-eat-it-257983 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Yevgen Nazarenko (photo), Uday Kurien, Oleg Nepotchatykh and Rodrigo Rangel-Alvarado, with Prof Ariya have published a paper that demonstrates a substantial influence of snow on car exhaust pollution. In particular, the results showed that snow acts as a sink for toxic organic pollutants and nanosized particles from car exhausts. The article is published in <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/C5EM00616C"><em>Environ. Sci.: Processes Impacts</em></a> and has attracted much attention, now classified "hot" on the Journal website.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-primary-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img class="no-float" src="/channels/files/channels/styles/wysiwyg_medium/public/channels/image/ariya-snow.jpg?itok=95JpGjg5" width="160" height="120" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-published-date field-type-datestamp field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div class="custom-multi-date"><div class="multi-date first"><span class="label">Published: </span><span class="day">19 </span><span class="month">January </span><span class="year">2016</span></div></div></div></div></div> Tue, 19 Jan 2016 20:41:37 +0000 webfull 115350 at /channels
