In this episode from the 6th Annual HVACR Training Symposium, Brynn Cooksey, a home performance contractor from Michigan and technical training business owner, reveals how indoor air quality (IAQ) testing transformed his contracting business from a commodity service into a profitable specialty. Cooksey shares his proven methodology for turning IAQ into an "instant profit center" by implementing systematic testing on every service call. Cooksey opens with a striking reality check: according to the EPA, Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, yet indoor air quality is 2-5 times worse than outdoor air. This presents a massive opportunity for HVAC contractors, as he explains that consumers are already spending $10 billion annually on air quality products at big box stores - but they're treating symptoms rather than addressing root causes. His approach involves educating contractors on how to position themselves as the solution providers rather than letting customers self-diagnose with retail products. The presentation dives deep into six critical IAQ parameters that every contractor should measure: particles (especially dangerous PM 2.5), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, humidity, and temperature. Cooksey emphasizes his "test in, implement solution, test out" methodology, demonstrating how this systematic approach not only ensures customer satisfaction but also provides concrete proof of value delivered. He shares real-world examples, including a dramatic case where routine IAQ testing during a water heater service call revealed a cracked heat exchanger that could have been life-threatening. The episode concludes with extensive coverage of ventilation strategies, which Cooksey calls the "silver bullet" for IAQ improvement. He walks through the differences between supply-only, exhaust-only, and balanced ventilation systems, strongly advocating for Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) as the optimal solution. His practical approach includes using DOE's free REDCalc tool for proper ventilation sizing and emphasizes the importance of controlled ventilation over relying on natural air leakage - debunking the myth that "houses need to breathe." Topics Covered The IAQ Business Case: How testing indoor air quality on every service call creates new revenue streams and differentiates contractors in a commoditized market Six Critical IAQ Parameters: Detailed explanation of particles (PM 2.5), VOCs, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, humidity, and temperature - what they are, how to measure them, and health impacts Systematic Testing Methodology: The "test in, implement solution, test out" approach that provides measurable results and customer proof of value Particle Control Strategies: Source control, enhanced filtration (MERV 13-16), duct cleaning benefits, and duct sealing with Aeroseal technology Chemical and VOC Management: Understanding formaldehyde and benzene sources, proper storage techniques, and why PCO devices aren't recommended Carbon Monoxide Detection: The life-saving importance of testing every home, understanding chronic vs. acute exposure, and why standard CO detectors aren't sufficient Ventilation as the Silver Bullet: Comprehensive coverage of supply-only, exhaust-only, and balanced ventilation strategies, with strong emphasis on ERV systems Practical Implementation Tools: Using DOE's REDCalc tool for ventilation sizing, integrating IAQ testing into service calls, and customer communication strategies Real-World Case Studies: Multiple examples of IAQ testing uncovering dangerous conditions, from cracked heat exchangers to improper combustion appliance installation Building Science Integration: How IAQ testing leads to broader building performance improvements, including duct sealing, insulation, and equipment sizing corrections   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

In this two-part interview, Dr. Peter Thorne, University of Iowa Distinguished Chair and Professor of Occupational and Environmental Health and a leading expert in toxicology, provides an in-depth overview of how the federal government regulates chemicals in food, water, and air. Key points: • The EPA and FDA are science-based organizations that interpret laws passed by Congress and apply the best available science to make regulatory decisions aimed at protecting human health and the environment. • The EPA's Science Advisory Board provides independent, non-partisan oversight to ensure the agency's decisions are grounded in scientific evidence. • Chemical regulations are dynamic, with compounds like Red Dye No. 3 and inorganic arsenic being re-evaluated as new scientific data emerges. • The precautionary principle guides regulators to err on the side of safety when the evidence suggests a chemical may pose health risks, even in the absence of definitive human studies. • Replacing problematic chemicals with safer alternatives can facilitate regulatory action, though the availability of substitutes should not be the primary driver of these decisions. • Persistent organic pollutants like PCBs and PFAS pose complex public health challenges due to their ubiquity and long-lasting environmental presence, underscoring the need for continued research and policy responses.

In this eye-opening episode, Christy and Marianne welcome back the formidable advocate, filmmaker, and podcast host Susie Singer Carter. Known for her poignant short film My Mom and the Girl —inspired by her experiences with her mother's Alzheimer's and starring the late beloved television actress Valerie Harper - and her award-winning podcast, “Love Conquers ALZ,” Susie shared details of her latest project, No Country for Old People, a stirring docuseries set to premiere on Amazon Prime August 1st. The conversation delves into the often-unseen challenges families face when loved ones require long-term or memory care. Despite finding what she believed was a 5-star facility for her mother, Susie encountered heartbreaking realities: inadequate care, chemical restraints, and a systemic unwillingness to change. As Susie recounted, “Most documentaries are labors of love. They're not money makes. If you choose to do a documentary, it's because you really care.” Her commitment shows not only in her work but in her partnership with retired federal prosecutor Rick Mountcastle (Dopesick), who spent decades investigating and prosecuting elder care fraud and neglect. Their collaboration—and the nearly 100 interviews with families, doctors, and whistleblowers—revealed this crisis is widespread, persistent, and demands urgent reform. Processing her own trauma, Susie found motivation in community and collective action. Inspired by the lack of real change through traditional advocacy, she and her partners founded ROAR—Respect, Oversight, Advocacy, and Reform for long-term care. “Any hard issue in our society has been overcome by the collective. That's our power,” Susie urges. She invites everyone to join the movement, harnessing the “power of love” to demand oversight and expose the veiled corporate interests prioritizing profits over people.

"A world where materials are in harmony with nature." Wouldn't that be amazing? I truly believe, that biophilic designers can specify this change, and also help scale innovation to make this happen.The global plastics crisis is stark: over 400 million tonnes of plastic are produced annually, with a staggering 99% being fossil-based and 91% never recycled. The plastics industry contributes 3.4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to 1.8 billion tonnes of emissions. Hao Ding, Global Marketing Director at Total Energy Corbion, unveils the potential of Polylactic Acid (PLA) - a bio-based material that could help how architects and designers approach sustainability.PLA stands for Poly Lactic Acid, a bio-based plastic material made from renewable resources like sugarcane or corn. Specifically, as Hao explained in the interview, it's produced through a process of fermenting plant sugars to create lactic acid, which is then polymerised into a plastic-like material. Unlike traditional petroleum-based plastics, PLA is:- Made from renewable resources- Biodegradable- Reduces carbon footprint by up to 75%- Food contact approved- Usable in multiple applications like packaging, 3D printing, textiles, and medical packagingA key difference is that PLA starts from plants that absorb CO2 during growth, whereas conventional plastics are derived from oil pumped from underground. When composted, PLA breaks down completely without leaving persistent microplastics, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastics. PLA can reduce carbon emissions by up to 75% compared to conventional plastics. "PLA can replace most conventional plastics and offer similar performance." Architects and designers can leverage PLA in multiple applications.Design and Construction Applications:1. Furniture packaging materials2. Exhibition and conference temporary structures3. 3D printed decorative objects4. Cavity wall insulation5. Prototype and model making6. Textile and upholstery applicationsEnd-of-Life Solutions:- Mechanical recycling: Melting and repurposing PLA products- Chemical recycling: Low-temperature process breaking down materials- Composting: Complete degradation without microplastic residueI think there is an exciting potential for designers here looking for alternatives to plastics, and it is something that as artists, specifiers, designers we can ask our suppliers to look at for us. Let's help them find alternatives and help scale biobased materials that have the potential to replace plastics in our environment.Hao showcased intricate 3D-printed examples, including life-sized hands holding a bowl and a detailed dragon sculpture, demonstrating PLA's capacity for complex, nature-inspired designs.Recommendations for Architects and Designers:- Explore PLA alternatives in packaging and temporary structures- Consider PLA for decorative and functional objects- Investigate textile and upholstery applications- Prioritise end-of-life solutions in material selectionHao's parting message resonates with hope: "2030 is not far away, and we all have targets to achieve." For architects and designers committed to sustainability, PLA represents an exciting pathway to more environmentally responsible design.To find out more visit: https://totalenergies-corbion.com/biobased/ If you like this, please subscribe!Have you got a copy of the Journal?

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports a French court is to decide if former Syria leader Bashar Assad can be tried for a chemical attack.

By David Stephen who looks at digital therapeutics in this article. A priority innovation, using AI, in medicine is simply not drug discovery or protein structures, but a solution for the side-effects of medications. There are already several useful medications for different conditions, but some side-effects can be so cataclysmic that eradicating them would be a core leap of AI for humanity. Why do medications have side-effects? If an answer is that targeting [say] a receptor could be therapeutic but would derail some other functions, then could a problem be the lack of an overall molecular configuration for functions? Can Digital Therapeutics help? Simply, say the functions of a particular segment of digestion has a molecular configuration of A1B2C3D4. Where the letters are respective molecules and the figures are their volumes. If, say, the receptors for molecule A is inhibited elsewhere, making it unavailable at the right volume for the digestive function, could it be possible to map the general configuration of molecules to functions and then prospect how to mitigate or eradicate side-effects? While it is true that the basis of functions are much more complicated, sometimes involving enzymes, proteins, ions, and so forth, it is possible to seek a rough map of functions - by ions and molecules - from several empirical data in biology. This could begin with brain science for psychiatric medications, such that data of conditions, targets, side-effects are explored for patterns, with AI. Why the brain? The brain is complex but can be functionally reductive. While there are several components of the brain for functions, neurons are correlated with most known functions - and experiences. But, neurons plus their electrical and chemical signals. Electrical signals are ions. Chemical signals are molecules. Neurons and their signals are not just responsible for memory, feelings and emotions, they mechanize regulation of internal senses [or bodily control]. They are also responsible for measures of those functions, or attributes like attention, subjectivity, intent and so forth, conceptually. Since signals are far flexible than neurons [which are cells], and they [signals] transport [and are directly correlated with] functions, it can be theorized that signals are the basis for functions. So, it is possible to develop a conceptual model of how the mind works by ions and molecules. These could then be useful to develop the basis for several functions, with AI, placing therapies and potential side-effects. Simply, to mitigate the side-effects of drugs [starting with psychiatry] using AI, it is possible to zero in [conceptually] on the ionic-molecular configurations that specify functions. Then to look at where some of those ions or molecules are present elsewhere in the body or in other brain functions, to predict what or where else might be affected, to determine how to increase the drug candidates for some conditions since configurations are already prognosticated, shaping far-reaching pre-clinical progress with AI. This can later be extended to other conditions and other parts of the body. However, psychiatry is a medical opacity, needing biomarkers that could be initially computational, and medications with fewer or less intense side-effects. There is a recent [July, 15, 2025] open question in The New Yorker, Can A.I. Find Cures for Untreatable Diseases - Using Drugs We Already Have?, stating that, "Doctors have long prescribed off-label medications, usually through trial and error or in clinical trials, but now A.I. appears poised to supercharge the practice. Earlier models needed examples of effective drugs to learn, so they were unlikely to identify promising candidates unless treatments already existed. But more advanced models can conduct what's called "zero-shot inference," nominating drug candidates for conditions without any known treatments. The tally of conceivable drug-disease combinations numbers in the tens of milli...

The Last One, with special guest Ed Urlik! . . . YOU DON'T KNOW MOJACK is a podcast dedicated to exploring the entire SST catalogue, in order, from start to finish. During the podcast we will discuss all the releases that are part of our core DNA, as well as many lesser-known releases that deserve a second chance, or releases that we are discovering for the very first time (we actually don't know Mojack!). First and foremost we are fans, and acknowledge that we are not perfect and don't know everything – sometimes the discussion is more about a time, place, feeling, personal experience or random tangents, and less about the facts (but we will try to get to the facts too).

7/18/25 - This week, newly released research has sounded an urgent alarm across the nation: chemical abortions are not only ending innocent lives but also polluting our environment in ways far more dangerous than previously understood. These findings reveal that abortion drugs, especially mifepristone and misoprostol, are entering wastewater systems, affecting aquatic life and possibly contaminating drinking water. Scientists and pro-life advocates alike are calling this an environmental crisis that can no longer be ignored. We break down the latest data and what it means for Catholics who are called to be stewards of both life and creation. We'll also explore how this issue exposes a deep inconsistency in mainstream environmental activism, and why Catholics must lead the charge in addressing both the moral and ecological consequences of abortion. Plus, we take a closer look at newly surfaced comments from Tucker Carlson, in which he boldly challenges the cultural normalization of abortion. Could Carlson's platform and rhetoric help ignite a political and spiritual movement to abolish abortion in America once and for all?

My Chemical Romance are playing their landmark 2006 album, The Black Parade, in full on their latest tour — and much of the online discourse stems from one key moment during last Saturday's tour kickoff show. Between “Welcome to the Black Parade” and “I Don't Love You,” frontman Gerard Way led the audience in an “experiment” and “a practice of democracy.” The band trotted out four “candidates” with sacks over their heads and held an “election,” beckoning audience members to hold up a sign that said either “YEA” or “NAY.” Apparently, the majority of the audience voted “NAY,” as the four candidates were “shot” execution-style and removed from the B-stage on which they stood. “Thank you so very much for participating in democracy,” Way said with a wry smile before the band continued playing.” (Loudwire) Hosted by:Luke = https://bsky.app/profile/rockednet.bsky.socialAlex = https://bsky.app/profile/voiceofalex.bsky.socialRowan = https://bsky.app/profile/rowbuck01.bsky.social

There is a toxic “forever chemical” found in our water, clothing, cookware—and even our blood. In this episode, I break down where it's hiding, how it harms your health, and simple steps you can take to limit exposure without falling for gimmicks.

New Podcast Episode: The Water We Live With — with Jim WhiteHe was there during the 2000 furfural chemical spill in Brownsville.He worked inside the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission.He's studied the Arroyo Colorado and the waterways of the Rio Grande Valley for decades.Now, Jim White joins us to share what he's learned.In this episode, we sit down with environmental consultant and former TNRCC specialist Jim White to talk about what flows through our rivers, what sits in our flood zones, and how the environment around us may be affecting our health more than we realize.

Chemical reactions are the backbone of modern society: the energy we use, the medicines we take, our housing materials, even the foods we eat, are created by reacting different substances together. If we zoom in, it's the atoms within these substances that rearrange themselves to give rise to new substances with the properties we need. However, chemical reactions are far from perfect. They're often inefficient and their waste products can be harmful to the environment. Getting to grips with what goes on at the scale of individual atoms has long been a sticking point.Dame Pratibha Gai has spent much of her career pioneering novel microscopes to bring this seemingly inaccessible atomic world into sharp focus. Now Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at York University, her microscope, known as the environmental transmission electron microscope, is housed in labs around the world. It allows scientists, like herself, to observe chemical reactions in real-time, in exquisite atomic detail, and tinker with them to create products that are not only better for all of us, but also the environment.Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Beth Eastwood A BBC Studios Audio production for Radio 4

In this episode I explain how your vagus nerve—an extensive neural pathway linking your brain and body in both directions—powerfully regulates your mood, digestion, alertness and even certain food cravings, and I explain how you can activate certain vagus nerve pathways to improve your heart rate variability (HRV), a key marker of health and longevity. I also explain how to control vagal pathways to enhance your focus and alertness to improve learning and neuroplasticity. And I explain how your vagus nerve controls levels of serotonin in both your gut and brain, impacting your mood and emotional resilience and how to keep that pathway robust.
