SCIENCE RULES!!!! FREAK OUT FOR THE LATEST ADVANCES IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY *Breakthrough for the month* TOXIC SPONGE A polymer that sponges up dioxine has been developed in Britain. The hazardous pollutant is linked with cancer and a severe form of acne. By tinkering with the architecture of divinylbenzene polymers using a process called imprinting. the scientists introduced cavities into the material, just the right size to trap TCDD. The most notorious dioxine. The team also hopes the polymer will be useful in detecting dioxines. Now dioxines are extracted from samples using solvents.
