(Organic Slant) After two-and-a-half years of radioactive particles traveling across the Pacific Ocean to the U.S. Pacific coastline from the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plants, the U.S. energy secretary is finally taking a closer look. U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said that he expects deepening cooperation with Japan over the high-stakes cleaning up and decommissioning […]
Highest levels of radiation yet at Fukushima
(Organic Slant) Record high radiation levels were detected at the disaster-stricken Fukushima nuclear plant, raising more concerns that the spiraling catastrophe has no end in sight. While the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), who owns the site, seems to have been content painting a rosy picture for the world, the situation has been worsening. Plant operator TEPCO said […]
No Picnic with Arsenic in Wooden Picnic Tables
(Organic Slant) Arsenic in pressure-treated wood, used in picnic tables across the country, pose an increased risk of cancer to kids who play and eat on wood surfaces. Pressure-treated wood is saturated with chemicals that poison insects and microorganisms that could chew up or feed on the wood, weakening the structure. The chemicals, which are pesticides, are […]
Benefits of Organic Lawn Care
(Organic Slant) The grass is always greener on the other side, when you use organic lawn care, in fact, it’s greener in more ways than one! As summer approaches, it’s imperative to think about lawn care treatments to get your lawn looking plush, growing healthy, and looking green. Organic lawn care is the eco-friendly alternative […]
UN Expert Science Panel Says No Immediate Health Risks from Fukushima Nuclear Accident THEY MUST BE SMOKING CRACK FOR THAT CONCLUSION
(Organic Slant) “Radiation exposure following the nuclear accident at Fukushima-Daiichi did not cause any immediate health effects. It is unlikely to be able to attribute any health effects in the future among the general public and the vast majority of workers,” concluded the 60 th session of the Vienna-based United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effect of […]
Fluorescent Label Sheds Light on Radioactive Contamination
(Organic Slant) Researchers in Japan have developed a way to detect caesium contamination on a scale of millimetres enabling the detection of small areas of radioactive contamination. The research is published in Science and Technology of Advanced Materials. Radioactive leaks, such as at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan, contaminate the local environment. Contamination of […]
Cesium levels continue to rise in Pacific ocean and plankton
(Organic Slant) Radioactive cesium from the Fukushima plant was found at 10 points in the Pacific Ocean, including a location as far as 1300 miles from the plant, less than a year after Fukushima nuclear disaster began, scientists revealed. Researchers from the Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science and Technology were among the team members who released […]
US EPA Hikes Glyphosate Limits in Food and Feed
(Organic Slant) The US EPA is proposing to hike the allowed residue limits — yet again — of the herbicide glyphosate in various food and feed crops. The allowed level in teff animal feed will be 100 parts per million (ppm); and in oilseed crops, 40 ppm. Allowed levels in some fruits and vegetables eaten […]
Seychelle Radiological Radiation Water Filtration & Purification Water Pitcher
The Seychelle Water Radiation Filter Pitcher with Radiological Filter is the best water filter pitcher and most technologically improved pure water filter pitcher of its kind in the world. The Radiation Water Filter Pitcher removes 100% of major nuclear contaminants from drinking water sources. The pitcher removes 100% of Gross Beta, Radium 226, Uranium, Cesium […]
Weed and Feed Herbicide Danger
(Organic Slant) A growing body of scientific evidence continues to confirm the widespread health effects of Weed and Feed products. 2,4-D, the pesticide in most Weed and Feed products, is a neurotoxicant. Studies show that exposure to 2,4-D is associated with neurological disorders, reproductive problems, kidney/liver damage, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and other cancers, and disruption of […]
