Philadelphia Chemical Spill: What Would You Do in a Water Emergency?

Posted by: Rhona Reid On March 31, 2023 6:40 pm

On March 24, a leak at the Trinseo Altuglas chemical facility in Bristol Township, Philadelphia caused up to 120,000 liters of latex emulsion to spill into the Delaware River. 

Concerned residents were told to continue to use tap water for the days immediately following the incident. The reason for this is the contaminated river water would take time to reach and enter the water treatment plant, and from there, the taps of local homes and businesses.

Are There Forever Chemicals in Your Glass of Juice?

Posted by: Rhona Reid On March 17, 2023 11:37 am

Coca-Cola and Simply Tropical fruit juice have been hit with a class action lawsuit after the “simply natural” drink was found to contain levels of PFAS – “Forever Chemicals” – that exceed ‘safe’ limits hundreds of times over.

Incidentally, even mentioning ‘safe limits’ of PFAS – the collective name for around 12,000 chemicals linked to a number of serious health issues – is a contradiction of terms, after the EPA announced last year that no amount of PFAS is safe.

Posted by: Rhona Reid On March 3, 2023 9:41 am

A healthy immune system is something we all want. We already know that eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables helps to support the immune system, but did you know that alkaline water from a water ionizer is a key way to really shore up your immune response?

This splits the water into two streams: alkaline and acidic. Alkaline water has a naturally …

Posted by: Rhona Reid On February 17, 2023 4:00 pm

34 test subjects were monitored and microplastics were identified in 75% of the breastfeeding mothers’ milk.
