Five of the compounds detected have never before been reported in groundwater anywhere in the world. They're not per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
Despite a massive focus on PFAS substances and pesticide residues in Danish drinking water, little attention is paid to the hundreds of other chemical compounds in our groundwater.
During this spring survey, scientists will study nutrient concentrations, algae, and zooplankton communities, as well as the diversity of the Great Lakes microbial community.
EPA’s P2 program is voluntary and encourages stakeholders to seek innovative ways to prevent pollution from entering waste streams through a competitive grant process.
Laconic will upgrade the current USMC surf characterization methods with a state-of-the-art automated software and hardware maritime environmental monitoring system that can identify, measure and quantify risk variables at scale and speed.
Plastics cause disease, impairment and premature mortality at every stage of their life cycle, disproportionately affecting vulnerable, low-income and minority communities.
The ubiquity of fast food and discount stores in poorer communities increases exposure to plastic packaging, products, and associated chemicals and impacts.
Researchers studied over a decade of photographic records of individual whales and determined that belugas in Alaska's Cook Inlet have relatively low rates of birth and survival, which are both likely contributing to the population’s decline.
The beluga whale population in Alaska’s Cook Inlet, which connects Anchorage to the North Pacific Ocean, is listed as endangered and has declined by over 75% from about 1,300 whales in the late 1970’s to fewer than 300 today.
The production of these reactive oxygen species from nanoplastics can endanger marine life and human health and potentially affects the mobility of the nanoplastics in the environment via redox reactions.
The honor recognizes Arizona DEQ for completing an expedited site characterization and remediation of PFAS in groundwater to protect the City of Tucson’s drinking water.
SWIFIA loans allow state infrastructure finance authorities to offer additional low-cost financing to communities and accelerate important water infrastructure projects.
