Abstract
Highlights: [•] A method to distinguish forged from genuine £20 banknotes has been developed. [•] Spectra may be recorded from paper or polymer film areas of the note for this purpose. [•] The method may be used with a simple bench-top FTIR. [•] Results may be supported by the use of IR-microscopy. [•] The method could readily be adapted for use by non-laboratory trained personnel.

The article investigates the potential use of composted recycled paper in treating plant diseases by researchers from Warwickshire, England. A research team led by Professor Ralph Noble has shown that composted recycled paper can cut plant disease by as much as 72 percent. Results from trials with conifers using compost made from paper waste indicate that it is providing similar disease suppressing effect as green compost made from plant waste. According to Professor Noble, suppression of plant diseases was particularly noticeable when the green and recycled paper composts were added to peat.
