November 28, 2011

Recent chemistry-themed reports have covered the dubious Chinese honey industry, the controversial use of the popular pesticide atrazine (especially in the corn industry), the nation’s continuing refusal to crack down on antibiotic use in livestock, and the ongoing seafood disaster that is the BP Gulf oil spill.
