Consumption and activity decline in Northern Pike (Esox lucius) during and after silver nanoparticle addition to a lake

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are antimicrobial additives in many consumer products with high potential for release into aquatic ecosystems. Though AgNPs have been shown to have negative impacts on fish in laboratory experiments, these effects are rarely observed at ecologically relevant concentrations or in situ in field settings. To evaluate ecosystem-level effects of this contaminant, AgNPs were added to a lake at the IISD Experimental Lakes Area (IISD-ELA) during 2014 and 2015.

Lithium discovery important for India's EV push but mining poses serious environmental risks: Experts

The Geological Survey of India recently identified a potential deposit of 5.9 million tonnes of lithium in Reasi district's Salal-Haimana area, the first such anywhere in India, which imports lithium. GSI said the site is an "inferred resource" of the metal, which means it is at a preliminary exploration stage, the second of a four-step process.
