Move over Greta Thunberg, Colorado's got its own wunderkind climate champion. Her name is Madhvi Chittoor. She's 11-years-old, and she lives with her parents in Arvada. But every chance she gets, Chittoor zips across the world speaking out against plastic pollution, leading climate rallies, and meeting with world leaders, like Vice President Kamala Harris. Today, Bree sits down with Chittoor to talk about her life in activism, her budding music career, and her latest legislative achievement, a bill that would ban the sale of PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” across Colorado.  Check out this profile of Chittoor from Conrad Swanson at the Denver Post for even more on her inspiring activism: https://www.denverpost.com/2022/04/26/colorado-pfas-madhvi-chittoor-environmental-activist/ For more, here's the full Denver7 report on the PFAS bill that we excerpted in this episode and, per Chittoor's recommendation, CNN's documentary, “Midway, A Plastic Island.”  Chittoor's album, “I am… Princess Genius,” is available through her website, and we found it on Spotify here.

In our nationally syndicated radio show this week, our guests discuss “forever chemicals” (PFAS) used in a wide range of products. How do they affect our health? What Are PFAS, or Forever Chemicals? Scientists refer to a large class of synthetic chemicals, per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, as “forever chemicals.” A Dupont chemist created […]

Microbeads were banned in the U.S. in 2015, but tiny bits of plastic known as microplastics, and another manmade family of chemicals called PFAS, are turning up in our environment and in our bodies. The Connecticut Sea Grant identified both materials as contaminants of emerging concern this year. This hour, we hear about the efforts to track the prevalence and impact of PFAS and microplastics in Connecticut. Experts at Connecticut Sea Grant and the State Department of Public Health join us to discuss PFAS; and UConn Professor and Head of UConn's Marine Sciences Department J. Evan Ward touches on microplastics in the Long Island Sound. Plus, Elizabeth Ellenwood is an artist from Pawcatuck whose work draws attention to ocean pollution and microplastics. She was recently awarded a Fulbright Research Scholarship and an American Scandinavian Foundation Grant to travel to Norway, where she's working with environmental chemists and marine biologists to produce scientifically-informed photographs focusing on ocean pollution.

De så kallade evighetskemikalierna PFAS kopplas till försämrat immunförsvar hos barn och är hormonstörande ämnen. I Danmark har man dragit öronen åt sig efter en giftskandal och drastiskt sänkt gränsvärdet för dessa ämnen. Men svenska myndigheter har dålig koll på PFAS-nivåerna. Nu vill Livsmedelsverket drastiskt sänka gränsvärdet för PFAS-kemikalier, som har använts bland annat för sina vatten- och fettavstötande egenskaper - i allt från kläder och elektronik, till brandskum. Vi har vetat i över 20 år att PFAS-ämnena är giftiga. Varför har det tagit sån tid att göra något åt dem?PFAS-kemikalierna börjar ta plats som en av de stora miljögiftskandalerna i historien, menar experter. I podden hörs: Daniel Värjö, reporter SR Klotet, Ulrika Björkstén, SR:s Vetenskapskommentator, Camilla Widebeck, Vetenskapsredaktionen, Farshid Jalalvand, mikrobiolog och skribent. Poddledare Camilla Widebeck Producent Peter Normark peter.normark@sverigesradio.se

Många svenskar har för mycket av de hälsovådliga PFAS-ämnena i sitt dricksvatten, enligt Livsmedelsverket. Hur ska vi få ner halterna? Höga halter PFAS i dricksvattnet har sedan tidigare konstaterats i närheten av områden där brandskum med PFAS i har använts. Men PFAS finns också i allt från stekpannor till allvädersjackor. Om Livsmedelsverkets förslag till nytt gränsvärde för PFAS i dricksvatten antas av riksdagen kommer mycket rening att behöva komma till vid svenska vattenverk. Men PFAS kan också finnas i marken. Medverkande: Tove Mallin, forskare vid Forskningsinstitutet Rise.

Naturvårdsverket hittade giftiga PFAS-kemikalier i halländska Kistingebäcken som använts för bevattning. Nu är det slutbevattnat, men hur har livsmedlen påverkats? Klotets granskning avslöjar att svenska myndigheter har dålig koll på PFAS-nivåerna. PFAS har kallats giftiga evighetskemikalier och finns bland annat finns i brandskum och möbeltyger. De är långlivade och kan ge allvarliga hälsoproblem. Till exempel riskerar barn att få försämrat immunsystem.Svenska länsstyrelser svarar i Klotets enkätSkadligt höga halter av ämnena har konstaterats i exempelvis kött i Danmark och Tyskland och i mjölk i USA. I Sverige finns på många platser förhöjda halter såväl i grundvatten som i ytvatten. Vetenskapsradion Klotets granskning visar att svenska myndigheter har dålig koll på ifall livsmedel från lantbruk i förorenade områden har för höga halter.Klotets Daniel Värjö besöker Kistingebäcken söder om Halmstad och träffar lantbrukarna Henrik och Lars Jönsson. De kan inte längre bevattna sina åkrar på grund av PFAS-föroreningen i området.Medverkande: Lantbrukarna Henrik Jönsson och Lars Jönsson i Halmstad, Tomas Sjöstedt, miljö- och hälsoskydds inspektör på bygg- och miljöförvaltningen i Halmstad kommun, Karl Lilja på Naturvårdsverket, miljöskyddsinspektör Åsa Lindström vid Försvarsinspektören för hälsa och miljö, Malin Sahlberg, miljöhandläggare på länsstyrelsen i Halland, Sandra Strandh, statsinspektör Livsmedelsverket.Skriv till oss! vet@sverigesradio.seReporter: Daniel VärjöProgramledare: Niklas ZachrissonProducent: Anders Wennersten

They share their views on this issue, solutions and where there might be bi-partisan agreement as state policymakers and regulators manage a contaminant that has been showing up in Wisconsin ground and surface waters.

Prior to the meeting of the NYS Drinking Water Quality Council, advocates urged the NYS Department of Health (DOH) to lower proposed drinking water levels for 23 PFAS chemicals, so that whenever these PFAS are detected in drinking water, the public receives a letter in the mail about it. Rob Hayes of Environmental Advocates discusses water quality issues with Mark Dunea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine,

Producers/Hosts: Jim Campbell and Amy Browne This series is made possible in part by a grant from the Maine Arts Commission Welcome to this edition of Maine: The Way Life Could Be, a series in which we look at challenges and opportunities facing Maine in the lifetimes of people alive today. In previous programs in this series, we looked at some of the possible effects of climate change on the way life could be in Maine in the not too distant future. Today, we look at some forces already at work today – climate change as well as the recent rediscovery of so-called “forever chemicals” in Maine soil and water – and what these forces may mean for people who grow food, both as professional farmers and as backyard gardeners. We asked Sarah Alexander, the Executive Director of the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) and John Jemison Professor of Soil and Water Quality with the Cooperative Extension at the University of Maine what impacts Maine farmers and gardeners might expect to see in their lifetimes from “forever chemicals” and climate change. To learn more about the health risks associated with PFAS chemicals, be sure to check the WERU archives for the Healthy Options show from April 6th entitled: “The serious problems of PFAS ‘forever chemicals’”. Host Rhonda Feiman's guest was Patrick MacRoy, Deputy Director of DEFEND OUR HEALTH, a public health organization based in Portland, that has been working on the issue. There are also good resources for learning more about PFAS chemicals on the University of Maine Cooperative Extension web site and on the website of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. About the hosts: Jim Campbell has a longstanding interest in the intersection of digital technology, law, and public policy and how they affect our daily lives in our increasingly digital world. He has banged around non-commercial radio for decades and, in the little known facts department (that should probably stay that way), he was one of the readers voicing Richard Nixon's words when NPR broadcast the entire transcript of the Watergate tapes. Like several other current WERU volunteers, he was at the station's sign-on party on May 1, 1988 and has been a volunteer ever since doing an early stint as a Morning Maine host, and later producing WERU program series including Northern Lights, Conversations on Science and Society, Sound Portrait of the Artist, Selections from the Camden Conference, others that will probably come to him after this is is posted, and, of course, Notes from the Electronic Cottage. Amy Browne started out at WERU as a volunteer news & public affairs producer in 2000, co-hosting/co-producing RadioActive with Meredith DeFrancesco. She joined the team of Voices producers a few years later, and has been WERU's News & Public Affairs Manager since January, 2006. In addition to RadioActive, Voices, Maine Currents and Maine: The Way Life Could Be, Amy also produced and hosted the WERU News Report for several years. She has produced segments for national programs including Free Speech Radio News, This Way Out, Making Contact, Workers Independent News, Pacifica PeaceWatch, and Live Wire News, and has contributed to Democracy Now and the WBAI News Report. She is the recipient of the 2014 Excellence in Environmental Journalism Award from the Sierra Club of Maine, and Maine Association of Broadcasters awards for her work in 2017 and 2021. The post Maine: The Way Life Could Be 5/3/22: “Forever Chemicals”, Climate Change, and Maine Farmers & Gardeners first appeared on WERU 89.9 FM Blue Hill, Maine Local News and Public Affairs Archives.

In this episode, Kaitlyn Allen talks with Angie Martin, Senior Vice President at Heritage Environmental Services overseeing national emergency response, waste allocation, sustainability, and customer training efforts. Heritage Environmental is in the business of eliminating industrial waste and establishing improvement measures that make the world a cleaner and safer place. Angie is currently the Vice President of the Spill Control Association of America, the President of The Pesticide Stewardship Alliance, represents Heritage on the Environmental Technology Council, and is a member of the Purdue University Environmental and Ecological Engineering External Advisory Council. Angie has participated in many national scale emergency response efforts, leads Heritage's rapid response team, and frequently speaks on emerging regulatory trends and challenges including sustainability, PFAS, and various RCRA-related topics. Angie comes from a family of engineers; her passion for this work in her DNA. Kaitlyn and Angie have a shared passion for waste. (You don't hear that too often!) Listen as they discuss how emergency response and critical incident risk management are critical ESG issues for many industries, often showing up on enterprise risk assessments. It is important to note that most secondary emergency response is privatized and not handled by government agencies in the US. In addition, Angie explains hazardous waste management—another often critical “E” issue—which by law may require incineration, and how this fact complicates decarbonization for the waste management sector. This episode will cause you to view emergency response from a different vantage point. During an incident, the initial focus is on the immediate impact to our families and businesses. The information shared here allows us to better understand the big picture mechanics of responses, corporations' role in responses, and how environmental protection fits into decision-making. While the work that Angie does is a natural fit for her, she also advocates for STEM education for young women who are at risk of losing interest in science and engineering at a very early age.

When carbon and fluorine fuse together they create a virtually unbreakable compound. These days, such per- and polyfluoroalkyl (or PFAS) substances are widely used in thousands of products from food packaging to clothing, carpets, and more. And because these chemicals are designed to be unbreakable, “forever chemicals” are adding up in our bodies and in the environment. On today's episode I'm answering a listener's question about the group of chemicals known as PFAS by bringing you an interview with Kevin Loria....
