Story at-a-glance A specific type of fiber called beta-glucan, found in oats and barley, was shown to reduce levels of harmful PFAS chemicals in the blood within just four weeks Participants who consumed beta-glucan experienced significant drops in legacy PFAS compounds like PFOA and PFOS, which are linked to cancer and hormone disruption The fiber group was the only one to show a meaningful reduction in the seven most high-risk PFAS chemicals identified by the National Academies of Sciences, including those that raise your risk for thyroid disease, cancer and ulcerative colitis In a follow-up study using mice, animals exposed to high PFAS levels but fed beta-glucan had lower blood PFAS, improved fat metabolism and less liver stress compared to controls The key to beta-glucan's effect is its gel-forming action in your gut, which traps PFAS and interrupts their reabsorption cycle, allowing your body to eliminate them through stool

Politik und chemische Industrie wissen es schon lange: Per- und polyfluorierte Alkylverbindungen kurz PFAS sind giftig und halten sich in unserer Umwelt überdurchschnittlich lange. Sie verbleiben in unseren Körpern und sorgen dort für Schilddrüsenerkrankungen, Diabetes und Krebs. Eingesetzt werden PFAS in der Textilindustrie, bei der Herstellung von schmutz-, fett- und wasserabweisenden Papieren, in der Kosmetikbranche, der Fotoindustrie und als Zusatz von Feuerlöschschäumen. Sie verunreinigen Meere, Fluss- und Grundwasser derart, dass im Algenschaum an der Nordsee eine 4000-fache Konzentration festgestellt wurde. Und doch reagiert die Politik nur sehr verhalten - die Wirtschaftsminister der Bundesländer wollen kein pauschales Verbot. Grenzwerte gibt es kaum, ein Verbot wird immer wieder ausgesetzt. Wozu brauchen wir PFAS unbedingt und warum lassen wir uns langsam vergiften? Das wollen wir heute wissen und befragen dazu den Umweltchemiker Prof. Dr. Martin Scheringer von der ETH Zürich, die Biologin und Toxikologin Dr. Marike Kolossa-Gehring vom Umweltbundesamt Berlin, den Umweltanwalt Dr. Thomas Schulte, Dr. Jakob Barz vom Fraunhofer-Institut für Bioverfahrenstechnik in Stuttgart und Stella Glogowski, Leiterin der Fachgruppe Lebensmittel & Ernährung in der Verbraucherzentrale Hessen. Podcast-Tipp: tagesschau - 11KM Stories Das Gift in Dir Im Juni 2021 erreicht die Panorama-Redaktion eine Mail aus Bayern. Gudrun Lemle und Doris Schmidt berichten von einem Umweltskandal in ihrer Heimatstadt Manching. Ihre Böden und ihr Grundwasser seien vergiftet - mit PFAS. Die NDR Journalist:innen Johannes Edelhoff und Catharina Felke beginnen zu recherchieren: Wie kommen die sogenannten Ewigkeitschemikalien in den Boden und wieso wird nicht offen darüber mit den Manchingern gesprochen? Auch ein Fall aus Norwegen weckt Johannes' und Catharinas Aufmerksamkeit: Toril Stokebo hat jahrelang die Skier ihrer Kinder gewachst und erkrankt plötzlich an Nierenkrebs. Haben die PFAS die Erkrankung ausgelöst und wie stark ist die Belastung von PFAS in der Natur und in unseren Körpern überhaupt?

These devices, costing up to $60,000 funded by grants, discreetly monitor air quality, alerting staff to harmful chemicals like nicotine. Superintendent Grant Rivera and his team aim to tackle vaping issues proactively. Additionally, the board will consider a $2.4M contract with Kelly Services for substitute staffing and appointing R.K. Redding Construction for Marietta High renovations, scheduled for summers 2026-2027, funded by SPLOST. STORY 2: Acworth Book & Storytelling Festival is Aug. 23 The Acworth Book & Storytelling Festival is set for Aug. 23, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at The Roberts School in Acworth. Hosted by Acworth Cultural Arts, this free event features local and regional authors, professional storytellers, vendors, and a panel discussion themed “Ink & Echo: Writing the stories. Speaking the truth.” Keynote speaker Bren McClain, author of *One Good Mama Bone*, will join T.M. Brown in conversation. STORY 3: Letter shows Cobb's threat to halt police services in Mableton Mableton officials agreed to pay Cobb County $9.5 million for police and transportation services after the county threatened to halt them by June 1. Mayor Michael Owens said the city was forced into the deal to ensure public safety, despite concerns of "double taxation" for residents already paying county taxes. The agreement funds services until May 2026, with Mableton exploring a special service district to cover costs. While Cobb County claimed it wouldn’t abandon residents, a May 30 letter revealed threats to cease services if no deal was reached. The city council initially rejected the plan but later approved it after mediation. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Break: INGLES 3 STORY 4: Austell approves 158% property tax increase The Austell City Council approved a 158% property tax increase, raising the millage rate from 3.25 to 8.25 mills, despite strong opposition from residents. The hike, expected to double property tax revenue to $3.85 million, aims to stabilize finances and address a $1.6 million budget shortfall. Mayor Ollie Clemons defended the decision as necessary for the city’s future, while critics, including Council member Meredith Adams, opposed the sharp increase, citing its impact on residents, especially those on fixed incomes. Many residents blamed city leadership for financial mismanagement, while Clemons attributed the issues to inflation and past inaction. STORY 5: Cobb Water Authority manager talks fluoride, forever chemicals, costs Cole Blackwell, general manager of the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority, emphasized proactive planning for water quality, affordability, and infrastructure reliability during a Kiwanis Club talk. The authority, sourcing water from Lake Allatoona and the Chattahoochee River, is addressing emerging contaminants like PFAS, though current levels remain safe. Inflation and rising construction costs have impacted operations, but costs are stabilizing, and the authority has a water supply sufficient through 2055. Blackwell reassured residents of continued fluoride use, compliance with regulations, and efforts to maintain reasonable water rates while ensuring future reliability. Break: STORY 6: Marietta man charged with stealing from Ford Elementary School Jamie Jr. Cline, 44, of Marietta, faces two theft charges for allegedly stealing a trailer and hay blower from Ford Elementary School in Acworth during separate incidents on June 29 and 30. According to police, Cline accessed the school by opening chained gates. Arrested on July 8, he was booked into the Cobb County Adult Detention Center and released the next morning on a $35,000 bond.

For decades, residents of the small city of Newburgh, New York, were unknowingly drinking water contaminated with toxic PFAS—also known as forever chemicals. The source turned out to be firefighting foam used on a nearby air base that had seeped into streams and creeks, and ultimately the city's main drinking water reservoir.Now, Newburgh is one of 10 sites that are part of a CDC-led study investigating the health effects of PFAS exposure. Early data out of Newburgh links PFAS with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Host Flora Lichtman discusses the research with environmental epidemiologist Erin Bell and reporter Shantal Riley.Read our full story about what PFAS contamination has meant for Newburgh in English and in Spanish.Guests: Shantal Riley is an award-winning journalist and science writer, focused on environmental health.Dr. Erin Bell is an environmental epidemiologist at the University at Albany in New York.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Susan Hunter is a farmer who lives in Unity, Maine. She and her husband were longtime dairy farmers, and after her husband passed away Sue turned to hay farming. A few years ago, testing of her soil - which she talks about in this conversation - revealed that her land was heavily contaminated with PFAS - human made  organofluorine chemical compounds that are known as forever-chemicals. Sue decided to partner with researchers from UMaine and then other organizations, to find out ways that PFAS contamination can be addressed. That research is ongoing today.Sue was part of the 2025 Maine Science Festival, on a session we held about PFAS research.This conversation was recorded in June 2025. ~~~~~The Maine Science Podcast is a production of the Maine Discovery Museum.

A proibição do consumo da água das torneiras em pelo menos 16 localidades do nordeste da França reforça um alerta que especialistas e organizações já emitem há pelo menos uma década: a regulamentação sobre a produção e o uso dos chamados poluentes eternos, que representam um sério risco à saúde e ao meio ambiente, deve ser atualizada.  A partir dos anos 1950, estes produtos químicos se disseminaram nas mais diferentes indústrias e são “quase impossíveis” de serem retirados do ambiente, nas cidades como no campo. Utilizados pelas suas propriedades impermeabilizantes, resistentes ao calor, ao fogo ou à gordura, eles são encontrados em utensílios de cozinha, produtos de higiene, roupas ou objetos de decoração – mas, ainda mais preocupante, também estão nos alimentos e até na água, onde vão parar pela contaminação dos rios. Foi assim que, no começo de julho, as autoridades sanitárias da região de Ardennes, perto da fronteira com a Alemanha, ordenaram a proibição do consumo da água das torneiras por tempo indeterminado. Testes realizados a pedido de um consórcio jornalístico, em amostras recolhidas ao longo de 10 anos, detectaram índices de poluentes eternos de três a 27 vezes superiores ao tolerado pela Agência Nacional de Saúde da França. O limite autorizado é de 100 nanogramas por litro. A suspeita é que os Pfas – sigla para produtos perfluorados – tenham sido despejados no rio Meuse e seus afluentes por uma fabricante de papeis instalada na região. Novas análises deverão determinar o nível de contaminação dos solos – um cenário que seria catastrófico para a agricultura, observa o repórter investigativo Nicolas Cossic, do site Disclose, e um dos autores da reportagem de denúncia. “Terrenos agrícolas significam os nossos alimentos, significa o leite que bebemos e que pode ser particularmente contaminado”, diz. “Já houve casos similares de graves poluições por rejeitos de usinas de papel na Alemanha, nos Estados Unidos. Agricultores simplesmente tiverem que parar de produzir porque as terras deles se tornaram incultiváveis”, indica, à RFI. 'Quando procuramos, encontramos' A contaminação da água potável ilustra a que ponto o uso destes produtos fugiu, literalmente, de controle nos países industrializados. No começo do ano, a associação de proteção de consumidores UFC-Que Choisir divulgou o resultado de testes feitos em 30 lugares de toda a França. O estudo chama a atenção para uma molécula em especial: a TFA, o ácido trifluoroacético, resíduo da degradação de alguns tipos de agrotóxicos usados na agricultura e que foi encontrado inclusive na água distribuída em Paris. “Hoje, a questão que temos que colocar sobre a água da torneira é qual norma deveremos aplicar, porque atualmente, o TFA não está entre as moléculas procuradas para os índices oficiais sanitários das Agências Regionais de Saúde da França. Isso significa que não sabemos, oficialmente, se há ou não presença de TFA na água que bebemos”, constata Olivier Andrault, analista de alimentação e agricultura da associação. “Entretanto, nós percebemos que quando procuramos, encontramos. Detectamos este Pfas em 29 das 30 amostras que analisamos.” Existem milhares de tipos de Pfas, mas cerca de 10 são os mais utilizados pela indústria – portanto, são também os mais estudados. Eles podem afetar o organismo humano de diferentes maneiras. “Verificamos efeitos no fígado, aumento das taxas de colesterol – portanto um risco cardiovascular mais elevado –, efeitos na tireoide, com impacto importante no desenvolvimento dos fetos. Eles podem afetar a nossa capacidade de reprodução, nosso sistema imunitário, e alguns Pfas são cancerígenos”, explica a toxicologista Pauline Cervan, da organização francesa Générations Futures. “Todos não são tóxicos da mesma maneira e na mesma gravidade, mas o conjunto desses produtos é preocupante porque a presença de todos eles é perene no meio ambiente.” Filtragem é difícil e cara Ao contrário de outras substâncias, os Pfas não se degradam com o tempo – por isso, são chamados de poluentes eternos. Essa característica torna também mais difícil a retirada destas moléculas em ambientes poluídos, em especial a água. “É praticamente impossível, na escala de toda a França. Tecnicamente é quase impossível e, do ponto de vista econômico, seria extremamente caro. O problema do TFA e da sua presença na água potável é que é muito difícil de retirá-lo: as técnicas que utilizamos hoje para a obtenção da água potável não permite filtrar essa substância”, aponta Cervan. “Seria necessário instalar filtros mais eficientes, com novas tecnologias, como a osmose invertida, que parece ser a única tecnologia capaz de retirar o TFA. Mas é caríssimo”, diz.  A especialista salienta que essas tecnologias consomem volumes abundantes de energia e gerariam um resíduo concentrado de Pfas, para os quais ainda não existe soluções adequadas. “Seria apenas deslocar o problema”, lamenta. Cervan ressalta, ainda, que as futuras leis sobre o assunto devem prever mecanismos para evitar que os industriais apenas substituam as moléculas conhecidas por outras ainda pouco utilizadas – e que poderiam se tornar o novo foco do problema, a longo prazo. Em fevereiro, a França adotou uma legislação pioneira para proibir progressivamente a produção desses poluentes nos cosméticos, têxteis e skis a partir de 2026. O texto também instaura o princípio de “poluidor-pagador”: as fabricantes terão de financiar uma parte das operações de descontaminação das agências regionais de tratamento de água.   Mas para Andrault, a norma já nasce incompleta, ao deixar de fora um dos maiores vetores de Pfas no ambiente doméstico, as panelas antiaderentes. “E também não incluímos toda a variedade produtos alimentares, como as embalagens que, em contato direto com os alimentos e expostos ao calor do micro-ondas, representam um risco elevado de presença de Pfas”, adverte. Na Europa, apenas a Dinamarca possui uma legislação restritiva à produção e uso destes poluentes em uma vasta gama de produtos.

As spring allergies subside, clinicians face a new wave of allergy challenges. This episode tackles the often-overlooked summer allergy surge, addressing the shift from tree pollen to grass and ragweed pollen. We explore the critical distinction between Class 1 and Class 2 food allergies, shedding light on cross-reactivity with summer fruits and vegetables. The discussion covers unexpected allergen sources like dust mites in air conditioners and insects like mosquitos as well as non-allergic triggers mimicking allergy symptoms. We also dive into helpful strategies for preparing allergic patients for summer camps. Gain insights on creating effective allergy action plans, managing pollen-food allergy syndrome (PFAS), and optimizing patient safety during outdoor activities.

Han er dansk miljømedicins ride or die. God father. Philippe Grandjean. Miljømediciner, professor ved Syddansk Universitet og forskningsprofessor ved University of Rhode Island. Læge fra KU helt tilbage i '74 – dengang hvor halvdelen af Danmark stadig røg indendørs og troede bly i benzinen var en god idé. Fuldstændig vanvittigt. Over 30 år som faglig sværvægter i Sundhedsstyrelsen. Adjungeret professor på Boston University, Harvard og University of Rhode Island. Og når der er ballade eller nogen er bims i kemikaliernes verden, når miljø og menneskekrop clasher– så ringer man ikke til nogen. Man ringer til Grandjean. Og nu er han i studiet på Frederiksberg med et budskab. Du er giftig. fordi vi lever i en verden, hvor maden, luften og naturen omkring dig er plastret til med PFAS, bly og alt det andet kemiske stads, vi har slæbt med os ind i systemet. Miljømedicinens Godfather, og det mest vanvittige CV, det første ophold i USA, og asbest i 1970'erne, ‘Du er giftig, og nogen vil skjule det', kviksølv, bly og PFAS i vores kroppe, firstmovers på luftmålinger af bly i luften, danskeren vil ikke kunne sælges som kød, 10.000 forskellige kemikalier i drikkevand og fødevarer, stoffer der har skadet hjerner og kroppen gennem tiden, den første erfaring med de store milliardvirksomheder, ring til din kommune, og spørg til drikkevandet, fjern momsen på økologi, fiskemel fra Vesterhavet overført til æggene, I skal ikke komme provokerende til Niels E.

This is the shocking true-life story of how PFAS-a set of toxic chemicals most people have never heard of-poisoned the entire country. Based on original, shoe-leather reporting in four highly contaminated towns and damning documents from the polluters' own files, Poisoning the Well traces an ugly history of corporate greed and devastation of human lives.We learn that PFAS, the 'forever chemicals' found in everyday products, from cooking pans to mascara, are coursing through the veins of 97% of Americans. We witness the pain of families who lost sisters and daughters, cousins and neighbors, after PFAS leached into their drinking water. We discover evidence that the makers of forever chemicals may have known for decades about the deadly risks of their products-because their own scientists have been documenting these dangers since the 1960s. And we see the failure of our government, time after time, to provide basic protections to its citizens.It is impossible to read this searing exposé without being infuriated by the recklessness of corporate America. But readers will also be awed by the spirit of ordinary people who, while fighting for their own lives, took it upon themselves to fix a broken regulatory system. Heart-wrenching and maddening, stirring and uplifting, Poisoning the Well offers a unique window into the worst and best of human nature. It is essential reading for anyone concerned about the unfettered power of industry and the invisible threat it poses to the health of the nation-and to each of us.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

About this episode: Since the 1950s, companies have been using PFAS—or “forever chemicals”—to manufacture everyday household items from waterproof mascara to shaving cream to Bandaids. Research and advocacy have not only linked these chemicals to certain cancers, liver disease, and fertility issues, but they have also posited that 97% of Americans have traces of PFAS in their blood. In this episode: guest host Tom Burke talks with writer Rachel Frazin about her new book outlining the dark history of PFAS in American manufacturing, the communities across the country demanding accountability and regulation, and the near future of regulation of drinking water. Guest: Rachel Frazin covers energy and environmental policy for The Hill and is the co-author of the book Poisoning the Well: How Forever Chemicals Contaminated America. Host: Dr. Tom Burke is an emeritus professor at Johns Hopkins and a former top official with the Environmental Protection Agency in the Obama administration.

In this episode of Waypoints, we travel to the Bay Islands of Honduras to explore one of the most underrated and unknown saltwater destinations in the Caribbean — the island of Guanaja. Jim Klug sits down with Steve Brown, the founder of Fly Fish Guanaja and the visionary behind the Faraway Cayes program, for a deep dive into a 25-year journey that blends pioneering adventure, flats fishing obsession, conservation, and a deep commitment to local communities. From permit and bonefish to the realities of building and operating a remote, Central American lodge operation from the ground up, this conversation explores what it means to create something truly special in a part of the world that is still largely off the radar.Steve shares his incredible story — from early exploratory missions and reviving a historic fishery, to launching a second ultra-remote camp 160 miles offshore. Listeners will get an inside look at the angling opportunities on Guanaja's technical flats, the distinct experience of Faraway Cayes, and why both operations offer something rare in today's flyfishing world: true saltwater wilderness, low pressure, and meaningful purpose. Whether you're dreaming of tailing permit or curious about how world-class fisheries are discovered, launched, and protected, this episode offers both inspiration and information for every traveling angler.Waypoints is brought to you by PatagoniaTo bring their gear to life, Patagonia is motivated by relentless curiosity and a passion for the wild.

A Senate bill that would have banned the use of sewage sludge as fertilizer on New York farmland passed in the State Senate — but then quietly died in the Assembly. Supporters say the bill was a necessary response to research showing harmful levels of PFAS and other toxic compounds in treated human and industrial waste, which can contaminate crops, waterways and drinking water. Opponents, including the waste processing industry, say the science isn't settled and that banning sludge could devastate rural economies. We look at how the bill unraveled — and what happens next.
