Reducing Gasoline Emissions Will Benefit Human Health
President Barack Obama and Energy Secretary Steve Chu are consistent in their message that when it comes to transportation fuels, carbon-neutral biofuels as an alternative to gasoline are coming. While the focus of a shift from gasoline to biofuels has been on global warming, such a shift could also impact human health. A grant from the Energy Biosciences Institute (EBI) has produced a novel and comprehensive "Life Cycle Impact Assessment" to measure the benefits on human health that might result from a switch to biofuels. Although there are a number of uncertainties that must be addressed for a more accurate picture, these early results show that a biofuel eliminating even 10-percent of current gasoline pollutant emissions would have a substantial impact on human health in this country, especially in urban areas.

European Society Of Cardiology Congress 2009: 29 August To 2 September, 2009

The latest news on procedures, drugs and equipment in the field of cardiology will be presented at the European Society of Cardiology congress which will take place in Barcelona, from 29 August to 2 September. With over 30,000 participants, the ESC Congress is the world"s biggest cardiology meeting. A record number of abstract submissions - 9,848 - were registered this year, reflecting how the meeting is now the main platform for cardiovascular research. A growing number of abstracts came from outside Europe, reflecting the truly international dimension of the meeting. "Because cardiovascular disease is the main cause of mortality and morbidity and in recognition of the major advances that have been made in this field we felt that prevention and risk factor identification represented a really important theme to highlight" explains Prof Fausto Pinto, chairperson of the Congress Programme Committee. "Entitled "Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease from cell to man to society", our highlight offers the opportunity for doctors, scientists and governments to come together to discuss ways of decreasing the burden of cardiovascular disease on society." New joint sessions with sister societies, such as the European Society of Medical Oncology, looking at issues such as the cardiovascular effects of oncology drugs, and a new joint session with the European Commission that will explore the issues around how the European Commission supports cardiovascular research are on the programme this year. The ESC Congress is a unique forum bringing together all the different disciplines and players involved in cardiology, including doctors, basic scientists, epidemiologists, nurses, technicians and key opinion leaders. It covers both specific issues in the different disciplines as well as broader issues affecting all fields of cardiology. The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) represents 59,000 cardiology professionals across Europe and the Mediterranean. Its mission is to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease in Europe.
