Lake Superior is not only the largest of the Great Lakes, but the water quality is also some of the clearest. Yet, historically, the Lake was often a dumping ground for all kinds of debris.  "Out of sight, out of mind” was an all-too-common mindset. Don Fassbender, president of Great Lakes Scuba Diving and Lake Preservation, has made it his life's mission to clean up Lake Superior's underwater world. With volunteers, including fellow divers and kayakers, he estimates 14 tons of tires have been hauled up from Marquette MIchigan's Lower Harbor. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Don about how his mission started and the mysteries he's found below the surface. Key Takeaways + Notable Quotes:A Lifelong Passion for Diving Inspired by Jacques Cousteau“As a young man, I can recall racing home from school just so I wouldn't miss the undersea world of Jacques Cousteau.”Vintage Diving Equipment Connects Divers More Intimately with the Water“There's actually less things that can go wrong... Vintage kit would look like a tank, a regulator, some fins, maybe a wetsuit and a mask, and then you're off. No computers, no fancy gauges.”Tons of Trash are Hidden Beneath Lake Superior“We removed, what, 14 tons of tires out of Marquette Lower Harbor alone over a period of about five years. And there's still a lot of trash down there.”Removing Underwater Debris is Complex and LaboriousHeavy items, poor visibility, and underwater hazards make cleanup efforts extremely challenging.Why Tires are Prevalent in Lake Superior“Tires were used as boat bumpers for years and years…as weather wears them down…they would just string another one up in its place.”Community Involvement is Essential for Successful CleanupsVolunteers on land, in boats, and even kayaks significantly contribute to cleanup missions.Safety and Equipment Needs Drive Fundraising EffortsSpecialized gear and safety equipment are critical for diver safety and efficiency.Surprising Finds Beneath the Surface Tell Unique Stories“One of my favorite finds, a little diamond ring that was tied to a rock with a shoelace.” Every item retrieved from Lake Superior carries its own history, some humorous, some mysterious.Resources:Great Lakes Scuba Divershttps://greatlakesscubadivers.comConnect with Diver Don on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/DiverDonScubahttps://www.facebook.com/GreatLakesScubaDiversContact Don directly with cleanup leadsEmail: president@greatlakesscubadivers.comConnect With Us:Lake Superior Podcast Page – https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/national-parks-of-lake-superior-foundationSponsors:Cafe Imports – Minneapolis-based importers of specialty green coffees since 1993, focused on sustainability.Learn more: https://cafeimports.comNational Parks of Lake Superior Foundation – Donate to protect Lake Superior's five national parks:https://nplsf.org/donateBe sure to tune in to this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast to hear Diver Don Fassbender share firsthand experiences from beneath Lake Superior's waters, the incredible teamwork required for environmental preservation, and how you can help protect the Great Lakes.

In our latest episode, partner Tanya C. Nesbitt interviews Dr. Jen Wollenberg of Integral Consulting, a leading U.S. science, engineering, and environmental consulting firm, about an emergent contaminant: microplastics. From our tap water and food to consumer products and even the air we breathe, tiny plastic particles have made their way into nearly every corner of our world—and our bodies. Tanya and Dr. Wollenberg examine the science, sources, regulatory landscape, and what the growing presence of microplastics might mean for the manufacturing and consumer goods industries. As the science evolves and public awareness grows, microplastics are increasingly becoming a focal point for litigation, product liability, environmental compliance, and sustainability disclosure. The discussion examines what companies should be thinking about now to stay ahead of the curve as regulatory pressures mount.

Why were there so many serial killers in the US in the 1970s and 80s? Why were so many in the Pacific Northwest? This week, we explore the Lead Crime Hypothesis with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Caroline Fraser. In her new book, Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers, she explores the potential link between mid-20th century pollution from leaded gasoline and industrial smelters and the spike in violent crime. We also examine how the reduction of lead in the environment could explain the subsequent drop in crime rates since the 1990s, but how we still face a threat today. We discuss how lead pollution became such a problem, its known impacts on human behavior, and why our understanding of pollution can challenge some conventional crime reduction strategies and beliefs. Caroline grew up outside of Seattle in the 1970s, while Ted Bundy and other murderers were in the area. We talk about her personal history with the area and how it's driven her work on the topic.  Caroline Fraser is the author of Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder, which won the Pulitzer Prize as well as the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Heartland Prize, and the Plutarch Award for Best Biography of the Year. She is also the author of God's Perfect Child: Living and Dying in the Christian Science Church, and her writing has appeared in the New York Review of Books, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, the Los Angeles Times, and the London Review of Books, among other publications.

Pour autant, beaucoup d'entre eux sont cancérogènes et deviennent un véritable fléau dans le monde. Les PFAS ou polluants éternels sont une classe de produits chimiques synthétiques présentant la particularité de posséder dans leur structure une chaîne d'atomes de carbone et de fluor plus ou moins longue. C'est d'ailleurs, en raison de leurs propriétés antiadhésives, imperméabilisantes, mais aussi de leur résistance à la chaleur qu'ils entrent aujourd'hui dans la composition de très nombreux produits du quotidien. Pourtant ces polluants représentent un véritable problème de société. Ils ont été classés cancérogènes pour les humains en 2023 par le Centre de recherche international sur le cancer. Et ce sont aujourd'hui, 10 à 15% de la population qui présente une concentration sanguine en PFAS qui dépasse la valeur seuil. Avec Robert Barouki, spécialiste des effets des polluants de l'environnement sur la santé humaine. Directeur à l'Institut pour la Recherche en Santé Publique. Reportage de Juliette Pietraszewski qui nous parle d'une loi qui a été votée en février dernier pour interdire les cosmétiques, les vêtements ou les chaussures qui contiennent des PFAS à partir de 2026.

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.

It's time for a new narrative for the ocean, one that reflects current scientific knowledge and acknowledges innovative new partnerships and solutions that center the ocean in our future. In this program, Jane Lubchenco, Professor of Marine Biology at Oregon State University and with expertise in the ocean, climate change, and interactions between the environment and human well-being, talks about the two current dominant narratives for the ocean are anchored in the past. The older one considers the ocean to be so vast, bountiful, and resilient that it is simply too big to fail. This first narrative drives pollution and over-exploitation of resources. A second, more recent narrative is that the ocean is now so depleted, polluted, and disrupted, and the drivers of those outcomes are so powerful and complex, that the ocean is simply too big to fix. A third, new narrative is emerging, based on scientific findings, existing solutions, and innovative partnerships and policies. This new narrative acknowledges that the ocean is central to a safe, clean, healthy, just, and prosperous future.

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.

New proposals to improve water quality in Northern Ireland could prove fatal for pig farming there according to the Ulster Farmers Union. The Nutrients Action Programme aims to reduce agricultural pollution in loughs and rivers and would involve limiting the amount of phosporus and nitrogen that can by spread on the land in slurry. The consultation on the programme has already been extended once and now the UFU says pigs numbers would need to be reduced by as much as 80% if the plans get the go-ahead. Craftsmen are building a new four and half mile dry stone wall in the Cotswolds. Part of one England's biggest road construction projects, the wall will run alongside the new road near Cheltenham.

In today's episode of the Sugar Crush podcast, we delved into a transformative conversation about the intersection of technology and environmental health, particularly focusing on pollution within our food systems. This discussion couldn't be more timely or critical, as the impacts of pollution span a vast spectrum of health concerns—from autism to Alzheimer's and beyond.Our exploration began with MedWatch, a cutting-edge technology that promises to be a game-changer in identifying and addressing pollutants. MedWatch serves as a crucial tool in our arsenal, enabling us to monitor and mitigate the harmful substances that have infiltrated our food supply. By leveraging data and analytics, MedWatch empowers us to take informed actions that protect our health and well-being.One of the highlights of the episode was the insightful contributions of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a staunch advocate for environmental health. His perspective underscored the importance of robust policies and public awareness in driving change. Kennedy's involvement signals a broader movement towards holding industries accountable and prioritizing sustainable practices.Additionally, the mention of Kansas City (KC) as a metaphorical epicenter of change was particularly inspiring. It symbolizes the collective power we possess to tackle these challenges head-on. The idea that we have the capability to solve these issues—even if it means deploying Navy SEALs to trace pollutants back to their source along the Mississippi—is a testament to our resilience and ingenuity.This episode leaves us with a profound realization: the battle against pollution in our food systems is not only possible but imperative. By embracing technology and collaborative efforts, we can pave the way for a healthier future. It is a call to action for each of us to play a role in safeguarding our environment and, ultimately, our health.In conclusion, the Sugar Crush podcast today illuminated a pathway towards a cleaner, healthier world, reminding us that with the right tools and determination, we can indeed conquer the challenges before us. Let us move forward with the insight and resolve to make a tangible difference.
