Salt Lake Tribune |
| by Judy Fahys The Salt Lake Tribune
Published May 21, 2013 02:51PM MDT
A contaminated groundwater plume on Salt Lake City’s east side is among the latest additions to the Superfund cleanup list. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced the PCE plume at 700 South 1600 East is among nine new sites being prioritized for cleanup nationally. “Sites that pose serious risks to human health and the environment and warrant Superfund attention continue to be identified by EPA and our state partners,” said Mathy Stanislaus, assistant administrator for EPA’s Office o... ... |

Minnesota lakes anything but pristine, PCA testers find
|
20.5.2013 |
MinnPost |
| This article was produced by the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism .
On a midsummer morning last year at popular Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, Mark Ferrey dipped a brown glass bottle into the water. His hands were gloved, he had drunk no caffeine, he wore no insect repellent. The slightest contamination would ruin the sample.
Below the sparkling surface swam muskies and walleye. Triathletes would be swimming there the next day. But Ferrey, a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency researcher, knew his sample would most likely turn up a cocktail of chemicals at trace levels.
According to results released last week, the Nokomis water was contaminated that day with a component of plastic, ibuprofen, a disinfectant used in hand soap, an antibiotic used on swine, a breakdown product of cocaine, an antidepressant, a fungicide and a drug used to treat Parkinson’s disease.
Some of the Nokomis cocktail’s most worrisome ingredients, the plastic component bisphenol A (BPA) and the ... |

How China chokes its neighbors
|
20.5.2013 |
MinnPost |
| FUKUOKA, Japan — When the Chinese smog arrives, the medical masks come in fashion.
Every few months, this city of 1.5 million people in southern Japan, not far from mainland China, gets a dose of lung clogging courtesy of its neighbor.
Coal factories in the cities of Tianjin and Beijing , combined with the growing numbers of automobiles, pump out toxins that drift westward across the East China Sea. They hit Japan and, to a lesser extent, South Korea .
The most recent air pollution crisis came in February, when a whitish gray blanket of smog fell over Fukuoka. The city government put out an advisory on its early warning system — the first in Japan, started that month — urging everybody, and especially infants and the elderly, to stay indoors and wear face masks outside.
“There is concern among citizens over the health effects,” said Keiko Nabamuta, a city environment official. “Whenever this happens, we ask residents to stay indoors and avoid hanging their laundry outside,” a measure to ... |

WildEarth Guardians filed suit against the Environmental Protection Agency in the U.S. District Court in Denver on Wednesday, saying the agency failed to uphold the Clean Air Act and to protect Utahns’ health by not making the state clean up fine-particle pollution. Jeremy Nichols, WildEarth Guardians’ climate and energy program director, said state regulators are putting the public health behind the interests of polluters. “Clean air delayed is clean air denied,” Nichols said in a news release.... ... |
