-(Natural News) The head of the United Nations Secretariat recently brought up concerns that a “nuclear coffin” on a Pacific island might be leaking radioactive waste. The toxic pollutants might have been spreading for years. The U.S. built the concrete dome during the 1970s to store toxic substances cleaned up from nearby nuclear weapons testing […]

-(Natural News) Arsenic is a natural element that can be found in many things – like soil and groundwater. The latter, in particular, presents a problem. Inhaling or swallowing the element has severe – even fatal – consequences. People who are especially vulnerable to arsenic poisoning (or arsenicosis) include those who drink or use groundwater and those who […]

-(Natural News) Hypertension or high blood pressure is a common condition linked to heart disease. It is determined by the volume of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. When the arteries narrows but the amount of blood the heart pumps remains the same, the resulting force exerted […]

-(Natural News) Researchers warn that conventional methods for treating water can trigger chemical reactions in neonicotinoid contaminants. The resulting metabolites are proven to be far more toxic than the original “neonic” pesticides. Their newest experiment followed up on their discovery of neonicotinoids in tap water sources. The team investigated the risk of the pesticides getting exposed to chlorine-based water treatments and transforming into […]

-(Natural News) In this study, researchers from the University of California, San Diego and the University of Minnesota examined the association of time following a heightened agricultural production period – the Mother’s Day flower harvest in May – with children’s blood pressure. Their findings were published in the journal Environmental Research. Agricultural pesticide spray periods increase pesticide exposure […]

-(Natural News) Since the 1990s, scientists have determined that harmful toxins from the environment accumulate within the tissues of the body. Now, researchers from the University of Alberta in Canada found that sweating helps remove these toxins, specifically a flame retardant chemical called polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Published in Biomedical Research International, the researchers highlighted that studying sweat, […]

-(Natural News) Aircraft emissions — in particular, from turbofans — can increase the likelihood of cellular damage, says a recent study published in Communications Biology. According to a multi-university research team from Switzerland, exposure to exhaust particles from aircraft turbine engines adversely affects human lung cells and increases the risk of respiratory diseases. Aircraft also a contributor […]
