Cooking curries and other spicy foods can contribute to indoor air pollution and occupant health.

Congratulations to all Chemistry@York individuals and teams highlighted at this year’s University of York Inclusive Impact Awards.

A sunscreen molecule that encounters metal ions can absorb light in a very different way.

De-icing fluids are typically sprayed on aircraft to remove ice, while anti-icing agents prevent the build-up of ice, providing so-called ‘holdover protection’. Such fluids play a vital role in the safe operation of aircraft in low-temperature conditions. They are based on glycol/water solvent mixtures, with anti-icing fluids having polymer additives that generate a barrier to inhibit ice formation.

Recent global regulations have significantly reduced sulfur emissions from ships, something that has been confirmed by a new study led by researchers from the Department of Chemistry at the University of York and National Centre for Atmospheric Science.

Lucy Carpenter, in her role as a Co-Chair of the Scientific Assessment Panel of the Montreal Protocol, presented key items for discussion at the Thirty-Seventh Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol (MOP37) at the UN complex in Nairobi, Kenya.

The Green Chemistry Sustainability Team are continuing their Operation SHINE project by launching a dynamic awareness campaign to promote green chemistry and lab sustainability.

A team of scientists from the Department of Chemistry in York have been recognised for their innovative work to decolonise the chemistry curriculum.
