researchers recycle concrete from demolished school and carbon dioxide in air into blocks

Researchers have developed a method to recycle concrete and carbon dioxide into strong building blocks for construction.

Beware the 'Cave of Death': Cavern kills any creature that enters it

The Cave of Death in Costa Rica quickly kills small creatures due to high carbon dioxide levels, emitting 30 kg of CO2 per hour.

Pigs hit in face before CO2 death at supplier for Tesco, Asda, Aldi and M&S

Workers used paddles to hit pigs in the face and back at a slaughterhouse supplying various supermarkets.
Footage showed pigs being suffocated by carbon dioxide at an abattoir known for using this method, even for supposedly high welfare pigs.

Stored carbon: The key to a chill future? DW 02/06/2024

Carbon dioxide concentrations have increased significantly due to human activity and are contributing to global warming.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a method to prevent excess carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and involves capturing CO2 from point sources and storing it underground.

What is carbon capture and storage? DW 02/06/2024

Carbon dioxide concentrations are 50% higher than 200 years ago due to human activity.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) can prevent excess carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.

The plants that could clean up Britain's air, revealed

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major contributor to global warming and is primarily released from burning fossil fuels and cement production.
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) are also greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change and air pollution.
Particulate matter refers to tiny solid or liquid materials in the air, such as dust and chemicals, and is measured in micrometres.

Seeking another Earth? Look for low carbon dioxide

The absence of carbon dioxide in an exoplanet's atmosphere may increase the chances of liquid water on its surface, suggesting potential habitability.
The presence of ozone and absence of carbon dioxide in an exoplanet's atmosphere could indicate a habitable and potentially inhabited planet.
