The Hidden Dangers in Our Food and Water: A Deep Dive with Janet Benton GaillardIn this episode of the Roots to Riches podcast, I, Justin Benton, am thrilled to welcome back a very special guest and co-host from the Miracle Plant podcast days, my mom, Janet Benton Gaillard. Janet has been deeply immersed in writing a book that encapsulates her decades of work in health, and today she shares some of the invaluable insights she's gathered.We dive into the critical connection between health and wealth, emphasizing that true riches are unattainable without good health. Janet discusses the alarming rise in health issues among children in America over the past few decades, including neurological problems like ADHD and autism, as well as cancer and obesity. She highlights the importance of preventive measures and real solutions rather than temporary fixes.Janet introduces her upcoming book, "Safe Journey Through Childhood: Biohacks to Maintain Optimal Health," which aims to provide parents with actionable steps to ensure their children's health. We explore some of the book's key chapters, including the importance of an organic diet, limiting hard-to-digest and low-nutritional foods, and maintaining an alkaline over acidic diet. Janet also stresses the significance of drinking clean, distilled water and the detrimental effects of processed foods and environmental toxins.Throughout the episode, Janet shares her extensive background and credentials, from growing up in a healthy, organic environment to her advanced degrees in psychology and integrative nutrition. Her personal experiences with her family's health challenges further underscore her expertise and dedication to natural healing methods.We also touch on the broader issues of food and pharmaceutical industries, the impact of environmental toxins, and the importance of doing thorough research to make informed health decisions.

Cannabis is legal for recreational use in nearly half of all U.S. states. And, it's an increasingly common substitute for beer or wine. Numerous scientific studies back up the assertion that cannabis is less harmful than alcohol in terms of physical harm, dependence, and social harm. But as a new series by NPR's Brian Mann and Sydney Lupkin point out, safety is relative and highly dependent on where your weed is sourced. A trusted dispensary may be your best protection against contaminants.

In 2023, the ITRC Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CEC) Framework was published to help environmental regulatory agencies and other stakeholders identify, evaluate, and manage CEC's while acknowledging uncertainties in their environmental fate and transport, receptor exposure, and/or toxicity. Such an approach can be conducive to improved allocation of regulatory response resources and provide a foundation for communicating potential risk to stakeholders. The ITRC framework is comprised of a white paper and four associated fact sheets. In the white paper, CEC are defined as: "substances and microorganisms including physical, chemical, biological, or radiological materials known or anticipated in the environment, that may pose newly identified risks to human health or the environment." The framework is meant to help environmental regulatory agencies and other stakeholders by providing examples of CEC monitoring programs and guiding the user through the process of identifying CEC key characteristics, how to communicate real and perceived risk from CEC to the public, and how laboratory analytical methods can be used in the identification process.The ITRC CEC training presents this entirely new framework for identification, prioritization, and communication of CEC. This course includes the following topics:An overview of the framework, how and why it was developed, the factors that influence the creation of CEC management units at the state level, and a listing of existing CEC monitoring programs.A discussion of key variables that may be used as criteria to identify and prioritize CEC for response actions. This portion of the course includes a case study that illustrates how the identification and prioritization process works with an "unknown" chemical CEC.Practices and methods for stakeholder messaging and how to share incomplete information on CEC that could impact human health and the environment. This portion of the short course builds upon the ITRC Risk Communication Toolkit by providing additional detail addresses communications plans, message maps, and audience identification.A paradigm for how laboratory methods can be used to identify CEC ranging from: "Is compound X in the sample and at what concentration?" (i.e., known knowns) to"Which compounds from the list are in this sample?" (i.e., known unknowns) to"What is in the sample?" (i.e., unknown unknowns). CEC are typically compounds or substances whose occurrence or effect is unknown but may or may not be understood through similar compounds or substances. This module includes a discussion of the use of targeted and untargeted analysis to identify a CEC.Participants will learn the elements of the CEC framework and gain an understanding of the framework application from case studies. Participants are encouraged to review the ITRC CEC Framework prior to the class.

The horseshoe crab has endured for over 450 million years. It has survived several mass extinctions including the one that killed off the dinosaurs. One reason for their incredible resiliency is their ability to fend off bacterial infection. Their blood contains cells that clot around invading bacteria, thereby protecting them from the attacking toxins.In this episode we talk with three experts about how this animal's unique blue blood has become essential to modern medicine.

In this episode of the Building HVAC Science podcast, Eric Kaiser takes the lead in interviewing three guests from the ROCIS (Reducing Outdoor Contaminants in Indoor Spaces) initiative: Linda Wigington, Bill Collinge, and Rhett Major. Linda introduces ROCIS, sharing its 10-year mission to help participants monitor and improve indoor air quality, particularly in areas with poor outdoor air. The initiative, primarily focused in southwestern Pennsylvania, involves virtual cohorts where participants use low-cost monitors to track air quality and receive guidance to improve it. Bill Collinge discusses the differences between low-cost and high-end air quality monitors, explaining how ROCIS focuses on measuring particles and carbon dioxide. He describes how the cohort process helps participants compare outdoor air quality with indoor conditions, assessing how well homes filter and ventilate air. Bill also highlights how data collected across multiple homes helps identify patterns and informs recommendations for improving air quality, while Rhett Major explains the process of air handler interventions. By testing static pressure and airflow in HVAC systems, Rhett helps participants optimize their systems to run more efficiently and reduce energy consumption while improving air quality. The guests discuss key takeaways from the program, including the importance of filtration, proper HVAC system setup, and the potential health benefits of reducing particulate matter indoors. They emphasize the need for proper system commissioning and the challenges of engaging HVAC contractors in this work. In closing, the team shares their hopes to expand ROCIS principles and interventions beyond Pennsylvania and offer guidance to those interested in healthier, more energy-efficient homes.

“The way the water tastes tells you nothing about the potential health effects of drinking water.” This quote from Johnny Pujol is eye-opening.  Is it possible that your drinking water is making you - or your child - sick? In this week's episode of the Soaring Child podcast, find out why it's so important to have your home's drinking water tested.  Johnny Pujol is the CEO of Tap Score and Simple Lab, the leading solution for environmental sampling services and laboratory testing. Johnny earned a Master's in Engineering from UC Berkeley and a bachelor's in Economics from Boston University. His vision is to simplify procurement of environmental sampling and testing services—enabling better decision making for the environment and your personal health.

"The transformation was remarkable. Those intense symptoms actually began to subside, and their child started to thrive." "Water is essential for every function in our body; it's clear that the quality of water we consume is of utmost importance." "We learned firsthand that the way the water tastes tells you nothing about the health effects." "There are endless chemicals in our environment, and when looking at the ones that impact us through tap water, it's important to know if they are harmful." "Most people don't realize that contaminants like lead, arsenic, and PFAs can be present in drinking water without any taste or smell." "If you do find contaminants in your water, it doesn't need to be like ‘Oh my gosh, the world's going to end,' but it's very controllable." "Run your tap water in the morning for a couple of minutes, and you'll get fresher water that has spent less time in contact with your home's plumbing." "About 30 to 35% of our water tests come back with a result indicating something you might want to address." "You cannot make decisions about your water quality unless you first test it."

Do you or have you suffered from allergies, chronic sinus issues, dry nose with chronic crusting (yup, we're going there), or use a CPAP machine? If so, you are in the right place. Today, we're taking a deep dive into your nose, no really!  The health of our nose is often overlooked as an important aspect of our overall health.  When we breathe through the nose, germs, allergens, toxins, smoke, dust, and particles can get trapped in the skin and hair inside our nostrils. Think about it, the nose is a direct link between the outside air and our respiratory system. Contaminants in the air can cause inflammation and lead to an allergic response, sinus issues, and other upper respiratory problems. Our nose functions like an air filter for the body and it's important to keep air filters clean. Someone who is here to shed light is our guest, Dr. Lebovic. Dr. Gail Lebovic is an internationally recognized oncoplastic surgeon, a patient advocate, an inventor, and a serial entrepreneur. Currently, Dr. Lebovic serves as the Founder and CEO of Silicon Valley Innovations, Inc. The company is focused on bringing novel drug delivery platforms to the multi-billion-dollar nasal healthcare and feminine healthcare markets.

In this LIVE episode of The Engineers HVAC Podcast, Grow Room experts Kirk Patton and Chris Adams, PE, share their experience successfully selecting, controlling, and supporting HVAC systems and controls in Grow Room applications. Indoor grow rooms have revolutionized the cultivation of plants, particularly cannabis, allowing for year-round growth under optimized conditions. However, creating and maintaining these ideal environments involves navigating a complex interplay of factors, from temperature and humidity to light and air quality. Unlike typical office or commercial spaces, grow rooms require highly specialized HVAC design approaches to meet their unique needs. The Unique Challenges of Grow Room Climate Control. The primary challenge in grow room design lies in the precise control required over the environment. Plants are much more sensitive to climate conditions than humans, with specific temperature and humidity ranges needed to maximize growth and yield. Additionally, transitioning from traditional lighting to energy-efficient LED options has altered the thermal dynamics within grow rooms, affecting heat loads and enabling multi-tier cultivation. This lighting evolution necessitates advanced cooling and dehumidification strategies to handle the reduced heat output and increased plant density. High humidity presents another significant challenge: plants transpire water into the air, dramatically increasing moisture levels. Grow rooms require robust dehumidification capabilities to manage this moisture without overcooling the space, especially during light-off periods when plants continue to transpire. Air quality and circulation also play a critical role in plant health, necessitating the integration of air filtration and purification technologies. Contaminants, VOCs, and pathogens can adversely affect plant development, making specialized filtration systems, including HEPA filters and UV light sterilization, essential for grow room HVAC systems.
