Need a good news article for chemistry report

In summary, the conversation was about finding recent news articles related to chemical compounds. While the focus is often on global warming and greenhouse gases, there are still other stories available. Some suggestions include articles from Scientific American, such as one on silver coatings fighting microbes and another on iron as a high-temperature superconductor. However, the original poster is looking for an article with at least 3 compounds mentioned, and the only one that comes to mind is about pharmaceuticals contaminating water supplies, although it may not be from the past month.

3 compounds in one article in a news story? Are you sure you've understood your assignment correctly?

How long ago was that article on pharmaceuticals contaminating water supplies? That's about the only story I can think of that might suit those criteria, but I think it's been longer than a month (then again, maybe there's some source that was having a slow news day the past month and carried the story late).
