Dr Zieve discusses how to be aware of and eliminate toxic factors in our home and school environments with Patti Wood, founder and Executive Director of the nonprofit Grassroots Environmental Education.Patricia Wood is a visiting scholar at Adelphi University, where she lectures on environmental exposures and related health issues in the School of Nursing. She also works with the Environmental Health Division of the New York State Department of Health, producing public information materials, and was recently appointed to the Governor’s Advisory Council on Sustainability and Green Procurement. Ms. Wood is the co-producer of the documentary film “Our Children at Risk,” which explores the latest scientific research linking environmental toxins to children's health problems, and the author of “The ChildSafe Guidelines” and “The ChildSafe School,” which promote and provide a framework for a comprehensive approach to reducing environmental toxins in schools, as well as "Helping to Heal," a book for parents of children with life-threatening illnesses.

(Repeat broadcast of May 10, 2019 episode) This week's Global Research News Hour presents a review of some of the adverse health impacts associated with the new generation of Wireless networks, known as 5G. In the first half hour, Meg Sears PhD, Chair of Prevent Cancer Now, presents some of the solid peer-reviewed research on the known health risks of Wireless Technology that are being ignored or downplayed by Health Canada. In the second half hour, Patti Wood with the group Grassroots Environmental Education, talks about campaigns to warn the public about 5G, including the May 15th National Day of Action. Finally, we present an interview with Walt McGinnis, Victoria-based political activist, and citizen journalist, about some of the other little discussed aspects of this exotic technology. This last interview aired on the program Gorilla Radio on University of Victoria based CFUV 101.9FM hosed by Chris Cook.

Water is essential to life. It transports nutrients to our cells, aids in the digestion process, transports waste out of our bodies, helps maintain a normal temperature, lubricates our joints, and quenches our thirst.Consequently, it is crucial that we are mindful of the purity of this vital resource. There is virtually no place on earth that is invulnerable to water contamination, whether it be from burning fossil fuels, agricultural chemicals, industry, sewage, or non-point source pollution. In many areas of our country, multiple sources of pollution contaminate sole source drinking water supplies, making it necessary for people to filter their water or otherwise seek a pure water supply.Is bottled water a solution? As the bottled water industry is not well regulated, there is concern that the quality of their water is no better (and perhaps more contaminated due to leaching of chemicals from the plastic bottle) than many municipal water supplies. In addition, the number of individual plastic water bottles being released into the environment is staggering – Americans use 60 million every day! Fewer than 20% of these bottles are recycled (about one in six).In the U.S., public water supplies are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which requires daily testing for bacteria and regular testing for other contaminants. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates bottled water, only requires weekly testing and does not share its findings with the public.Water contaminants, including pesticides, radioactive substances, heavy metals, industrial waste, pharmaceuticals and pathogens continue to show up in urban, suburban, and rural water supplies all over the country. People are not educated about how their everyday activities can have a huge impact on water quality.Patti Wood, Executive Director of the environmental health non-profit organization, Grassroots Environmental Education, and visiting scholar at Adelphi University in New York, joins Mark Alyn to discuss this critical issue.Learn about some solutions on drinking water, including how to maintain lawns without synthetic chemicals, how to properly dispose of leftover prescription drugs, how to filter your own water at home, and many other water-related tips.Many scientists have said that wars will be fought over water in the future.
