Paul Holland of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) stuck to his findings last year that a shift in winds linked to climate change was blowing ice away from the coast, allowing exposed water in some areas to freeze and make yet more ice.
When sea ice melts, the newly exposed dark water absorbs radiation rather than reflecting it, as snow or ice would.
Medicines that have been exposed to polluted water should also not be used.
It is normally submerged beneath two or three metres of water, but is exposed in dry years when the water level drops.
Tepco fears some of the fuel rods may become exposed if the water in their storage pools is allowed to boil down too low.
FORBES: Japanese Stocks Rebound Despite Growing Radiation Fears
His moment of recognition came late on a raw winter's night, when he hankered to stay under his blankets but couldn't, because his family business makes quirky demands: Oyster growers like the Bishops engage in a rare branch of agriculture that farms in two elements, exposed earth and water.
Most rock being mined has abundant iron sulfide minerals which oxidize when exposed to air and water.
Damage to the liver and kidneys has been observed in rats chronically (long-term) exposed in their drinking water.
As many as 500, 000 people may have been exposed to the contaminated water over a period of 30 years, the Marine Corps said.
Half were randomly to be instructed to apply the sunscreen daily to exposed areas, reapplying after water immersion, heavy sweating or several hours spent outdoors, while half were told to use it as they normally would.
Pupils from different schools in Cape Town (areas such as Langa, Khayelitsha, Hout Bay, etc) were firstly exposed to the difficulties of obtaining water from a standpipe in Khayelitsha (an informal settlement).
Coal waste mountains exposed to air started churning out acidic water, polluting groundwater and streams.
They were exposed 65 years after being dropped when water levels in the Rhine River fell to record lows, prompting what officials said was the biggest evacuation since the war's end.
If you are exposed you should wash thoroughly with soap and water and remove your clothes.
FORBES: Sarin Gas Is Deadly, But Fear Is More Powerful And More Deadly
They exposed some, via contaminated pollen and sugar water, to high doses of imidacloprid, a type of neonicotinoid insecticide.
There were deep pools of water separated by thin islands of exposed road that looked too slick and mucky to even attempt.
Hydrogen is building up because, due to low levels of cooling water, fuel rods are partially exposed, causing them to overheat.
That shift rips protons from the molecular chains of Dr Kiser's jelly-like solid, leaving exposed negative charges primed to form bonds with water molecules.
ECONOMIST: A novel idea for stopping the transmission of HIV
Every day, 2.5 billion people are exposed to the primary cause of death: unsafe water.
Indiscriminate logging and deforestation have caused the exposed soil to run off into the river, silting it up and reducing its water-flow capacity.
On the other hand, sticking with the traditional approach, which limits water speed to less than ten miles per hour, would leave Marines exposed to enemy fire for much longer.
FORBES: Marines Fight For Crucial Vehicle As Budget Cuts Loom
The whole point is that the amount of radioactivity people outside the evacuation zone are exposed to is likely to be small, even if we include the amounts in food and tap water.
Absorption is particularly fast in cold water so the Arctic is especially susceptible, and the recent decreases in summer sea ice have exposed more sea surface to atmospheric CO2.
Organisms that make shells or have skeletons that are exposed to seawater, such as clams, snails and sea butterflies, could see their shells dissolve in water that is too acidic.
