Fisk University student Cariuna Ellison's highlight features a publication from the laboratories of Douglas Reese and Bill Clemons of Caltech that describe the cryo-EM structure of a bacterial metalloid pump and the mechanisms that could offer more insight into ridding environments of toxic metalloids.

Cheap, effective and dangerous: how Australian farmers came to depend on the toxic weedkiller paraquat
"It is illegal to use paraquat in at least 74 jurisdictions worldwide, including the European Union, China, Malaysia, Brazil and, most recently, the US state of Vermont."
"But today,
Australia’s chemical regulator gave this effective but highly toxic herbicide the green light." >>

Declassified CIA files reveal secret #WeatherManipulation projects to 'control world'
Previously top-secret CIA files allege that the US plans to control the world by manipulating the weather.
by Olivia Beeson, June 10, 2026
"The documents surrounding weather modification were declassified in 2003, and discuss the tactic of launching rockets or planes to release chemicals into the atmosphere that alter the climate and storm systems.
"These documents resurfaced from 1965, and highlighted how this tactic could be use as a weapon of war in the future.
" 'However, it did not specify what chemicals were used in the experiments.
"The documents stated that federal funding for weather modification was due to be four times higher in 1967 - the year the US began spraying #toxins over #Vietnam to cause #floods and #landslides."

Is pesticide spray on food leading to movement disorders?
Precautionary principle - ban paraquat"Paraquat and the related herbicide diquat are fast-acting weedkillers that farming groups say are essential for controlling resistant weeds."
"Multiple epidemiological studies from different groups of scientists have shown that people exposed to paraquat have around a three times greater risk [of developing Parkinson's disease]."
'The chemicals have been under review by the APVMA since 1997 and they are banned in the EU, the UK and China due to their toxicity.'
"There are now multiple epidemiological studies or real-world exposure studies that have suggested that paraquat increases the risk of Parkinson's disease by around threefold...Like Australia, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to allow restricted use of the pesticide despite ongoing health concerns." >>

#Algal #Toxins emerge as a new concern in #Alaska’s Northern Bering Sea
Locals who depend on the sea for food and culture are trying to understand the risks to traditional foods and wildlife populations in a region undergoing myriad changes
by Yereth Rosen, Alaska Beacon, May 31, 2026 via #ICTNews
Excerpt: "For countless generations, people of the #BeringStrait region have relied on the food they harvest from the sea without worrying about #HarmfulAlgalBlooms [#HABs] that threaten seafood eaters in warmer and more southern latitudes.
"Now, as the Northern Bering Sea undergoes cascading effects of a warming climate, algal risks pose a new challenge.
"The change has been dramatic.
"And it has prompted a change in the way #Nome youth grow up learning about collecting food from the waters around their home. In early April, Nome high school students traveled to Bethel with their science teacher, where they presented their research at the Western Alaska Interdisciplinary Science Conference held by Alaska Sea Grant.
"Algal toxins were present, at very low but detectable levels, in fish they eat.
"Sophomore Audrey Bruner-Alvanna was among the group of student researchers. She said young people are concerned about algal blooms, which proliferate in warmer conditions, and their potential effects on wild food resources.
" 'Because, you know, as the climate changes, as the world gets warmer and stuff, there’s going to be more of these toxins and stuff during summer,' she said. 'I feel like a lot of people that I’ve talked to have been wondering about how our subsistence is going to change in the future based on all of that.'
"The student research came about after one of the nation’s densest and biggest concentrations of toxin-producing Alexandrium algae ever documented burst forth in the waters of the Bering Strait region in 2022.
"Until the appearance of the 'massive bloom, the most toxic bloom, the longest-persisting bloom in the U.S.,' local people barely knew what harmful algal blooms or #Alexandrium are, said Emma Pate, president of the Nome Eskimo Community, the local tribal government.
" 'So we had to figure things out and learn really fast,' Pate said during an October 'Strait Science' presentation hosted by the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Nome campus."

Immersion in a hot toxic soup
From humans, wildlife and invertebrates: Simultaneous exposure of toxins and climate harms likely to cause reduced fertility
An " ‘alarming’ effect on fertility across global species from simultaneous exposures."
"The chemicals are ubiquitous in consumer goods, so humans are often regularly exposed."
“There is enough evidence in both areas to act to reduce our impact on the planet...The solution to the systemic problems would involve reining in climate change and reducing the use of toxic chemicals." >>

Wanton acts of environmental destruction
The large-scale incinerating of oil wells"Tehran’s toxic cloud: satellite images show oily fires burned for days. Residents reported headaches, eye and skin irritation and breathing difficulties as Israeli bombings blanketed Tehran with pollutants. Satellite images of Tehran show toxic fires caused by Israeli bombings on oil depots were still burning days after the strikes, which have caused fears of serious health complications for millions of residents in the Iranian capital." >>
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/23/tehran-toxic-cloud-satellite-image-oil-firesIn this area of NSW, on the 'holiday' Mid North Coast we are all to familiar with black rain, soot and toxic air pollution caused by the NSW government's Forestry Corporation. After logging and spraying with pesticides everything is incinerated and send into the atmosphere and lungs. >>

Toxic air pollution here and there
After weeks of spraying pesticides, then burning the logged plantations, the smoke lingered in a smoulderscape that left soot on all objects and ln lungs. Now the rain washes the cocktail of herbicides together with the ultrafine particle smoke into the surrounding soil and waterways. Negative externalities caused by the NSW government's Forestry Corporation. >>
https://mastodon.au/@Bellingen/116179883788004782The large-scale deconstruction of oil wells elsewhere
Pulverising oil wells into our atmosphere"Reports are emerging of black rain falling over parts of Iran in the hours after US-Israeli airstrikes on oil depots on the weekend, with some outlets describing it as “acid rain”. Iranian residents have reported headaches, difficulty breathing, and oil-contaminated rain settling on buildings and cars."
"This rain would include acids but also likely a host of other pollutants that are harmful to humans and the environment in the short and long term.This black rain indicates toxic pollutants such as hydrocarbons, ultrafine particles known as PM2.5, and carcinogenic compounds called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have made their way into the rain. When ultrafine particles (PM2.5) are inhaled, they can get into your bloodstream. This has been linked to a range of health impacts including cancers, neurological conditions (such as cognitive impairment), and various cardiovascular conditions." >>
