Posted on 3. October, 2011.
Lead, a toxic heavy metal, is found in high concentrations in shooting range soils due to the abrasion and weathering of bullets accumulated over the years. This can adversely impact the environment through leaching into groundwater or runoff into streams, lakes and rivers. In the latest issue of Chemical Speciation and Bioavailability a group from the Soil and Water Science Department, University of Florida describe how the conversion of metallic lead to carbonates may aid natural attenuation of lead in shooting range soils.

The preparation and reactions of B-norsteroidal 6-ketones and their relatives
Read more
Posted on 30. September, 2011.
B-norsteroids are involved in the the apoptopic activity of the marine sterol orostonal and the anti-tubercular activity of the parguesterols, and are used in the synthesis of hormone analogues. The preparation and reactivity of the heavily substituted cyclopentanone B-norsteroidal 6-ketones, which have formed precursors for the synthesis of ring B-azasteroids, are reviewed by Cavit Uyanik and James R. Hanson in the September issue of Journal of Chemical Research. They suggest further areas for investigation of these modified steroids.
