Lead, pesticides, brominated flame retardants, plastic additives, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and heavy metals. This is what researchers at Lund University found when they collected dead hedgehogs to investigate the environmental pollutants found in urban environments. Previous research has investigated the presence of heavy metals in hedgehogs from other urban areas in Europe and found simi

The EU’s approval process for a novel perennial, eco-friendly grain with the potential to fundamentally change Europe’s agriculture has dragged on for more than six years. This delay, according to researchers at Lund University, is due to an outdated regulatory system. Kernza, a perennial grain with several metre long roots, is good for the climate and the environment. The grain, which is most clo

Enkla, billiga pellets av salt kan enkelt mäta stråldoser vid ofrivillig exponering, och kan även användas inom sjukvården och kärnkraftsindustrin. När saltet pressas samman till pellets förenklas hanteringen och dess egenskaper att mäta strålning förbättras. 102 olika undersökta hushållssalter från 47 länder bekräftades vara lämpliga att användas för att mäta eller beräkna strålning.

A team of researchers, led from Lund, has discovered a small planet that has a peculiar way of moving in its orbit. The wobbling planet TOI-1408c, located 455 light years from Earth, shows that planetary systems can be far more complex than scientists previously thought. The newly discovered planet has a mass equivalent of eight Earths and orbits very close to a larger planet, the hot gas giant TO
