Bee-killing pesticides threaten the global food supply
Neonicotinoids, better known as neonics, are a class of insecticides with a chemical structure that resembles nicotine – a nitrogen-containing compound present in tobacco plants. Farmers across the United States use pesticides with neonics to protect their crops from pests. But experts find that the use of neonics has disastrous consequences for food production for humans. Daniel Raichel of the […]

Toxic chemical in car tires, not climate change, is killing off West Coast salmon
For decades, scientists noticed that salmon returning from the Pacific Ocean to spawn along the West Coast turn up dead in huge numbers whenever it rains. This phenomenon has confounded many experts and even led others to believe that warmer water due to climate change was the culprit. Now, scientists from Washington and California have identified the […]

Chemical in car tires linked to salmon die-off
Populations of coho salmon along the U.S. west coast have been on the decline over the last two decades due to sudden mass die-offs. Now, scientists from Washington and California have identified the culprit: a poisonous substance related to a chemical preservative for car tires. The chemical preservative, known as 6PPD, is used worldwide to slow […]

Marine metal pollution weakens scallops, affecting their growth and survival
Heavy metals contaminating seabeds are causing king scallops to develop more brittle shells and increasing their risk of predation. This is according to a new study led by researchers from the University of York in the United Kingdom. Published in the journal Science of the Total Environment, it showed that king scallops collected in the coastal waters around the Isle […]

Researchers find elevated levels of radiation near US fracking sites
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is linked to many health and environmental concerns. But a recent study by researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston found another troubling effect of fracking: radioactive air particles. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, showed that airborne radiation levels downwind of US fracking sites are higher than […]

Exposure to chemicals used to disinfect airplanes may cause birth defects, caution scientists
According to a recent study, exposure to chemicals in disinfectants commonly used by commercial airlines to disinfect airplanes before flights may cause neural tube defects (NTDs) in mice and rats of both sexes. The study, which appeared in Birth Defects Research, revealed that ambient exposure to disinfectants called quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), also referred to as “quats,” significantly raised […]

Dangerous “forever chemicals” found in at least 500 drinking water wells across California
Some 500 drinking water wells across California, which serve about nine million residents, are contaminated with toxic substances, dubbed “forever chemicals,” according to a recent report from The Big Wobble. While that figure might appear small, research shows that contaminants in the water can accumulate inside bodies, interrupting important biological processes and triggering the onset of several […]

Chemicals found in tap water could be responsible for more than 100,000 cases of cancer
Diet, genetics and environmental factors all have a hand in determining one’s risk for cancer, one of the deadliest chronic diseases around the globe. But a recent report from an environmental advocacy group cautions that millions across the US could be facing a greater risk of cancer due to contaminated tap water. In a major breakthrough, […]
