Study: Prenatal Fluoride Exposure Strongly Associated with Lower Scores on Tests of Cognitive Function in the Offspring
A landmark study published in 2017 (funded by the National Institutes of Health) found that prenatal fluoride exposure was strongly associated with lower scores on tests of cognitive function in the offspring. In this study, higher levels of maternal urinary fluoride during pregnancy (a proxy for prenatal fluoride exposure) that are in the range of levels of exposure in other general population samples of pregnant women ...
Big Ag Companies Ordered to Stop Aerial Spraying Thanks to Ragtag Group of Oregon Locals
The people who wrote an ordinance banning the aerial spraying of pesticides in western Oregon last year aren’t professional environmental advocates. Their group, Lincoln County Community Rights, has no letterhead, business cards, or paid staff. Its handful of core members includes the owner of a small business that installs solar panels, a semi-retired Spanish translator, an organic farmer who raises llamas, and a self-described caretaker and ...
Dupont Settles Toxic Chemical Water Contamination Lawsuit that Affected Six Water Districts
The chemical company, DuPont, manufactures products in its Washington Works plant in Parkersburg, West Virginia. For years, DuPont allowed large amounts of C8 from its plant to contaminate the air, groundwater and landfills in the area resulting in contamination of drinking water in six water districts in Ohio and West Virginia. In 1984, an employee from a DuPont plant near Parkersburg, West Virginia, filled a jug ...
US EPA Scientist Fired For Trying To Tell The Truth About Climate Engineering And Fluoridated Water
The public has been trained and conditioned to believe that federal agencies like the EPA exist to watch over them and warn them of any potential dangers. This notion could not be further from the truth. Though there are honest and caring people within these agencies (like the scientist who has drafted the statement below), the institutions as a whole exist to hide threats from the ...
Fracking Plays Active Role in Generating Toxic Metal Wastewater, Study Finds
The production of hazardous wastewater in hydraulic fracturing is assumed to be partly due to chemicals introduced into injected freshwater when it mixes with highly saline brine naturally present in the rock. But a Dartmouth study investigating the toxic metal barium in fracking wastewater finds that chemical reactions between injected freshwater and the fractured shale itself could play a major role. The findings, which are published ...
Toxins found in Fracking Fluids and Wastewater, Study shows
In an analysis of more than 1,000 chemicals in fluids used in and created by hydraulic fracturing (fracking), Yale School of Public Health researchers found that many of the substances have been linked to reproductive and developmental health problems, and the majority had undetermined toxicity due to insufficient information. Further exposure and epidemiological studies are urgently needed to evaluate potential threats to human health from chemicals ...
Drilling begins on The Garlock Project – Drilling for Primary Water in the Tehachapi’s
History Pal Pauer’s mentor Hydrologist and Mining Engineer Dr. Stephan Riess was convinced that the primary water source for California City (California) originated from the Garlock Fault. His dream for testing his hypothesis materialized when Pal Pauer drilled two test boreholes adjacent to the Garlock Fault in the Tehachapi Mountains at a 6,000-foot elevation. The outcome is remarkable! Timeline April 15, 2015 Primary Water Institute (PWI) ...
Obama Announces new Clean Water Rule, Expands EPA Overreach
Editors Note: Since the Clean Water Act became effective in October 1972, the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers have overstepped their jurisdiction numerous times, greatly affecting many land owners, farmers, etc. The Supreme Court has reprimanded their overstepping actions time and again, so they have finally succeeded in expanding their jurisdiction from 'navigable waters of the United States' to essentially all waters of the U.S ...
Barrasso Bill Stops EPA Water Rights Overreach
U.S. Senators John Barrasso (R-WY), David Vitter (R-LA), Mike Enzi (R-WY), Pat Roberts (R-KS), Roy Blunt (R-MO), Mike Johanns (R-NE), Ted Cruz (R-TX) and 23 other Senators introduced legislation to stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from taking over all private and state water in the United States. The Protecting Water and Property Rights Act of 2014 prevents the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) from ...
Massive ‘Ocean’ Discovered Towards Earth’s Core
(NewScientist.com) A reservoir of water three times the volume of all the oceans has been discovered deep beneath the Earth’s surface. The finding could help explain where Earth’s seas came from. The water is hidden inside a blue rock called ringwoodite that lies 700 kilometres underground in the mantle, the layer of hot rock between Earth’s surface and its core. The huge size of the reservoir ...
