  3. Every NSW waterway contaminated with microplastics, study finds

    " A state government study found microplastics in all 120 NSW estuaries sampled, with 19 per cent rated E for severe contamination. The Broadscale Microplastic Assessment of NSW Estuaries, conducted between 2021 and 2024, sampled 120 waterways, from remote rivers to urban estuaries." >>

  4. Studies comparing artificial turf and natural fields have shown that artificial grounds carry a higher risk of injuries. When natural grounds are replaced with turf, cases of sprains and limb injuries increase noticeably. english.mathrubhumi.com/news/k #kerala #turf #sports #health #mentalhealth

  5. Barton Hall like you've never seen it -- since they haven't finished the new field hockey field they rolled out turf inside Barton! They had a game today but I missed it, not least because i didn't pack the right lens, but given that the bus broke down on the way home I should have been there!

  6. #mMeerBomenNu over #turf en #potgrond

    Turf wordt gewonnen uit veengebieden – natte landschappen die behoren tot de rijkste ecosystemen van Europa. Ze slaan enorme hoeveelheden koolstof op, zuiveren water, houden regen vast en bieden een thuis aan bijzondere soorten als de kraanvogel, watersnip en boomvalk. Maar zodra het veen wordt afgegraven voor potgrond, verdwijnen deze leefgebieden voorgoed.
    Dus wanneer mensen bij tuincentra of bouwmarkten potgrond kopen, is het grote kwaad geschied… En vrijwel alle potplanten die op deze verkoopplekken te koop staan, zijn gekweekt in een mengsel vol turf. Naar maar waar: het is bijna onmogelijk om een potplant te vinden die niet indirect heeft bijgedragen aan de vernietiging van veengebieden.

  9. For those who use the Turf.js JavaScript library for GIS/mapping work. Turf 7.2.0 has been released, which fixes a lot of edge case bugs by replacing their `polygon-clippling` dependency with `polyclip-ts`.

    Mole Cricket - Gryllotalpa sp and its Chirping Call >>

    "Before they develop the land they wipe out all the vegetation, and then people grow introduced plants. If the area is big enough they will wipe out everything...Introduced lawn grass and plants won’t allow them to come back, because it’s not the habitat it used to be. So urbanisation makes a big impact on not only crickets but everything.” >>

  11. Defying EU, Leo Varadkar Rules Out Further Turf-cutting Curbs

    << Leo is just cowardly refusing to do the hard things that leadership requires.

    When the CJEU inevitably rules against the Irish gov., they will implement the necessary rules and pay the damages for late action whilst loudly decrying how unexpected and unfair this all is.

  12. It's about f-ing time!!! WTF!

    The #EPA is proposing that '#ForeverChemicals' be considered #hazardous substances
    by Ayana ArchieFeb, 02 2024

    "The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing that nine #PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals," be categorized as hazardous to human health.

    "The EPA signed a proposal Wednesday that would deem the chemicals "hazardous constituents" under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

    "For the agency to consider a substance a hazardous constituent, it has to be toxic or cause cancer, genetic mutation or the malformations of an embryo. The full list of the nine substances can be found here.

    "The agency cited various studies in which forever chemicals were found to cause a litany of "t#oxic effects" in humans and #animals, including, but not limited to cancer, a decreased response to vaccinations, #HighCholesterol, decrease in #fertility in women, #preeclampsia, #thyroid disorders and #asthma, the EPA said.

    "Short for "per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances," PFAS cover thousands of man-made chemicals. PFAS are often used for manufacturing purposes, such as in #NonstickCookware, #adhesives, #firefighting foam, #turf and more [ex, #SkiWax].

    "PFAS have been called "forever chemicals" because they break down very slowly and can accumulate in people, animals and the environment. Last summer, a study by the U.S. Geological Survey found that the man-made chemicals are present in nearly half the country's tap water supply.

    "The survey tested for 32 types of PFAS, though there are more than 12,000, the USGS said, and they can pose a health threat even at very small amounts.

    "In June, the chemical manufacturer 3M said it would pay about $10 billion in lawsuit settlements to help detoxify water supplies across the country, after plaintiffs claimed the company's firefighting foam and other products were responsible for contaminating #TapWater with PFAS.

    "The proposed rule will be open for #PublicComment once it is uploaded to the Federal Register, under docket number EPA-HQ-OLEM-2023-0278."
