As one unit at #ThreeMileIsland eyes restart, decommission of other stalls
"March 28 1979, Unit 2 experienced partial core #meltdown due to cooling failure.. At the time of #accident, te failure of a pressure valve to close allowed cooling water to escape as steam, with #nuclear fuel ultimately melting in te overheated reactor core. When operators reintroduced water, #radioactive material spread thru . other buildings.. EnergySol'ns plans to remove #contaminants by 2029"🤦♂️

Make Church Street a Clean Air Zone
Low emissions zones are a very quick way to bring down pollution ( NO2 ,PM2.5) and avoid cognitive decline and cancers from combustion traffic."Higher emissions from industry and residential combustion, as well as biofuel, coal, and oil and natural gas combustion, were associated with worse language scores."

Water Quality and AMR 💧🦠
The effects of climate change on water systems are multifaceted:
• Increased #runoff and #flooding contribute to the dissemination of #contaminants.
• Alterations in #aquatic #ecosystems may favour the proliferation of specific #bacterial populations.
• #Wastewater treatment facilities encounter significant challenges.
• #Microplastics may function as #vectors for the transmission of #AMR #genes.

Sinking in Saltwater: #Maine’s #coastal #marshes at risk as sea levels rise
Between 28 and 57 percent of the state’s coastal marshes could disappear by the end of the century, victims of a rising sea, coastal #development and #PollutedRunoff.
By
Kate Cough
July 28, 2024PORTLAND — "It takes hundreds of years for a #SaltMarsh to form, for fine sediment brought in on the tides to settle in sections of shoreline sheltered from the worst of the wind and waves. As salt-tolerant plants — smooth #cordgrass, #SaltmarshHay, #saltgrass, #BlackRush — begin to grow, their dense stems and roots trap more sediment, and the marsh builds more rapidly, up and out.
"#Crabs, #shrimp and #worms arrive, drawn to the rich food of dying marsh grasses, followed by a variety of #fish — #alewives, #StripedBass, #smelt and Sea-run #BrookTrout among them — many of which eventually migrate between the marsh and the sea.

Sinking in Saltwater: #Maine’s #coastal #marshes at risk as sea levels rise
Between 28 and 57 percent of the state’s coastal marshes could disappear by the end of the century, victims of a rising sea, coastal #development and #PollutedRunoff.

Experts working with the #FirstNation of #NaChoNyäkDun who have witnessed the fallout at #VictoriaGoldEagle mine near #Mayo, #Yukon, say systems on-site are so severely compromised that damage to the land & water is all but inevitable.
What they describe is a system rendered mostly #inoperable, with each affected piece elevating #risks to the #environment — every day.
On June 24, part of the Eagle #mine failed and a massive #RockSlide involving roughly 4 million tonnes of material cleaved off a large piece of the facility where #gold is extracted from ore using a chemical process called cyanide heap leach. Estimates put the amount of ore stacked on the heap leach pad — which functions as a giant industrial percolator — at nearly 4 times what was lost in the slide.
With the #HeapLeach pad downed, experts say a #toxic soup of #SodiumCyanide & other #contaminants — up to 300,000 cubic metres of solution, according to the #YukonGovernment — was released in the initial slide. Since then, they say, more of it has been draining.
The First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun has called the event "the region's most recent and potentially #catastrophic #mining failure."
