Overview
The Extech EzFlex Combustible Gas Detector features a 16 inch flexible gooseneck for easy access into hard to reach locations. The detector quickly identifies and pinpoints the smallest gas leaks. The detector's high sensitivity will alert users through a visible and audible alarm at 10% lower explosive limit for methane. The one hand operation with thumb controlled sensitivity adjustement eliminates background gas levels.

Wash. State to chart methane emissions from gas utilities
Researchers at Washington State University will quantify uncombusted methane emissions throughout the U.S., according to a release. The investigators will look at emissions from local gas systems and try to estimate a national emissions rate. Uncombusted natural gas is more harmful to the atmosphere than carbon dioxide because it has a higher warming potential. Emissions of uncombusted methane along the natural gas supply line haven’t been measured on a national scale and studying them will become more important as the U.S. natural gas industry continues to expand. The Washington State study begins in April and is funded by major natural gas utilities, the Environmental Defense Fund and Conestoga-Rovers and Associates, an environmental engineering and consulting firm.

Vancouver gets new air monitoring vehicle
A new air monitoring vehicle was recently delivered to the city of Vancouver with praise and skepticism from metropolitan residents, according to The Province. The vehicle, known as the Mobile Air Monitoring Unit, is loaded with sensors which will monitor air quality. The city wants to monitor particulates in the air from coal, diesel and oil tankers. Data collected by the truck transmits to the city hall. Some citizens are happy to have a new mobile air monitoring station that will supplement the city’s 26 stationary monitoring stations. However, many citizens criticized the loaded Ford F-450’s price tag of more than $280,000.

Sargassum Surge: How Seaweed is Transforming our Oceans and Coastal Ecosystems
Until recently, Sargassum –a free-floating seaweed–was distributed throughout the Sargasso Sea , the north Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. But in the space of a decade, this seaweed has, as one scientist remarks , “Gone from a nonfactor to the source of a terrible crisis.” Driven by climate change, anomalous North Atlantic Oscillation in 2009-2010 and a glut of anthropogenic pollutants, sargassum has proliferated. Seasonally recurrent mats as deep as 7m now bloom in the “Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt” (GASB), which covers areas of the Atlantic from West Africa to the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Every year, millions of tons wash up along the shores of more than 30 countries . Dr.
