Nominee-run #Chinese #recycling plants leaked #toxic #waste across #Thailand
"Since #China’s “National Sword” #policy took effect Jan2018, banning imports of contaminated plastic & electronic waste, te recycling industry tt was once concentrated inside PRC scattered across te region.. Thailand, #Malaysia & #Vietnam became te new destinations.. importers brought some #hazardous waste into🇹🇭 thru ports by falsely declaring it as scrap metal or ordinary raw materials" #จีนเทา

Thousands of US #hazardous sites are at risk of #flooding because of #SeaLevelRise, study finds
By DORANY PINEDA, November 20, 2025
Excerpt: "The study’s researchers started by identifying and classifying tens of thousands of hazardous sites near the coasts of Puerto Rico and the 23 states with coastline. Next, they wanted to know each site’s projected future flood risk. They did this by calculating how likely each year coastal flooding could inundate a site using historical sea level measurements and projected sea level rise in 2050 and 2100 under low and high emissions scenarios. Lastly, they identified and classified communities as being at-risk if homes are located within 1 kilometer (0.62 miles) of a hazardous site with a high threat of future flooding, and compared those communities’ characteristics with other Fcoastal neighborhoods with no at-risk sites nearby.
"But researchers did not include all types of hazardous facilities, such as oil and gas #pipelines, nor did they account for #GroundwaterUpwelling or more intense and frequent storms in the future, which could lead to underestimates. On the other end, the flood-risk model they used could have overestimated the number of threatened sites.
" 'It is important to note that previous disasters, such as #hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Harvey, did result in a lot of #ToxicContamination from oil and gas pipelines,' Chandler said.
"The 5,500 at-risk sites includes 44% that are #FossilFuel ports and terminals, 30% power plants, 24% #refineries and 22% coastal #SewageTreatment facilities. Most of the sites — nearly 80% — are in #Louisiana, #Florida, #NewJersey, #Texas, #California, #NewYork and #Massachusetts."

Democratic senators and public health advocates are demanding that the White House and its contractors prove their rapid demolition of the East Wing last week did not expose workers and passersby to #asbestos a construction material that has been linked to cancer and lung disease.
White House officials have said work to abate #hazardous materials at the site was performed last month but have so far not provided documentation . . . https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/10/30/east-wing-demolition-asbestos-abatement/ -
What is life really like in such a #hazardous zone? Why would anyone choose to live in the constant shadow of a potential eruption? And what #measures have been taken to protect the community?
In this blog, Hedieh Soltanpour from the EGU Natural Hazards Division shares her experience of visiting Kagoshima – a personal effort to understand how people manage to live alongside an active volcano.

The Fairbanks area has been surrounded by 5 blazes greater than 10k acres over the past few weeks. Many days of poor #AirQuality — as bad as #hazardous — resulted from #smoke-filled skies. As in the Lower 48, most of the large fires are caused by lightning as warmer-than-average conditions overtook the state & brought summertime conditions along. In late June, one #wildfire even broke out in the #Arctic of Alaska’s North Slope.

Most Venusian co-orbitals are nearly #invisible from Earth because they often remain in the #Sun’s glare ☀️. “While surveys like those from the #RubinObservatory 🔭 @VRubinObs may be able to detect some of these #asteroids ☄️ in the near future, we believe that only a dedicated observational campaign from a space-based 🌌 mission near #Venus could potentially map and discover all the still ‘invisible’ potentially #hazardous asteroids” https://dailygalaxy.com/2025/05/is-venus-hiding-a-deadly-threat-asteroids

#Trump #EPA plans to rescind & reconsider limits on 4 different #ForeverChemicals under a landmark #DrinkingWater standard implemented last year by President #Biden, acc/to documents.
The drinking water rules were adopted as part of Biden’s efforts to limit public exposure to #PFAS, #hazardous #chemicals linked to range of serious illnesses. The original rule covered 6 common PFAS contaminants, including #PFOA, a known human #carcinogen, & #PFOS, a likely carcinogen.https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2025/05/13/epa-pfas-drinking-water-rule/

So, #Terrapower and other #HALEU energy projects are being touted as "carbon-free". But alas, a lot of energy is spent digging, milling, transporting and enriching #Uranium -- and there's still no place to permanently store #NuclearWaste.
And #NewNuclear is far from CLEAN -- ask the residents of #PiketonOhio -- who are still dealing with #contamination from when the uranium enrichment plant was operating before!
Radioactive cylinders abound at former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant site
by The Guardian
August 7, 2024
PIKETON, Ohio – "The site of the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon is home to a significant number of radioactive cylinders, posing ongoing environmental and health risks. As of 2022, there are a total of 20,570 uranium hexafluoride (#UF6) cylinders at the site, including 1,879 low-enriched uranium (LEU) cylinders, 18,206 depleted uranium cylinders, and 385 empty cylinders.
"These cylinders, which have been stored in the open for decades, are known to be among the highest sources of #radioactive contamination at the entire plant site. The U.S. Department of Energy [#DOE] has repeatedly reported the #hazardous conditions associated with these cylinder yards.
Chemical Reaction and #Corrosion
"UF6 is highly reactive with moisture, forming uranyl fluoride (UO2F2) and hydrogen fluoride (HF). Both compounds are extremely corrosive and toxic. HF can lead to severe corrosion of the cylinder walls, potentially resulting in leaks and the release of hazardous materials. The environmental and health impacts of these compounds are severe; HF can cause respiratory issues, skin burns, and eye damage, while UO2F2 can lead to kidney damage and other serious health problems.
Historical Accidents
"The potential risks are not hypothetical. In 1978, a major incident occurred when a UF6 cylinder ruptured, releasing over 20,000 pounds of uranium hexafluoride into the atmosphere. Over the years, there have been dozens of such accidental releases, exacerbating the environmental and health risks associated with the site."
