(Natural News) An energy expert has called the power emergency in Texas a “system-wide failure” at nearly every level that could have been prevented for a steep price. Jesse Jenkins, assistant professor of energy systems engineering at Princeton University, pointed out that homes in Texas are not designed to deal with very cold weather, which caused customers […]

(Natural News) Water is essential for survival – you may last for a couple of weeks without food, but you can’t last for more than a few days without water. When SHTF, however, potable water may become scarce and preppers will be left with water sources that have not been properly treated, or worse, contaminated with pathogens and chemicals. […]

(Natural News) Drinking water sources serving 7.5 million Californians are contaminated with toxic synthetic chemicals, according to a study from the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit organization specializing in environmental research. These chemicals, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances or PFAS, are commonly called “forever chemicals,” as they are extremely resistant to degradation once they get released to the […]

(Natural News) Scientists are gearing up for an expedition deep off Florida’s gulf coast in August. The scientists, with help from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), are looking to probe the Green Banana — a mysterious blue hole that begins 155 feet below the ocean’s surface. Blue holes are underwater sinkholes that form when rainwater dissolves a hole through limestone rock. They are […]

(Natural News) The bacteria responsible for Legionnaire’s disease live in water. But researchers warned that tiny water droplets containing the disease-causing Legionella microbe are floating in the air. Their study indicated that people might get infected if they inhaled the airborne droplets of contaminated water. Supported by Arizona State University (ASU) and Drexel University, the researchers investigated […]

(Natural News) Lead poisoning is a serious health concern and should not be taken lightly. Children are particularly at risk of exposure to this toxic heavy metal. Protect your family from lead exposure by keeping your home clean and following a balanced diet. The dangers of lead exposure Exposure to lead can affect the developing brains […]

(Natural News) The contamination of water, especially with fecal matter from animals or humans, is a serious problem. Pathogens from human or animal wastes can cause life-threatening diseases as well as economic losses. To address fecal pollution of water systems properly, it is important to know the origin of the waste. Human and animal wastes present different health […]

(Natural News) The excessive blooming of blue-green algae might be responsible for the recent spate of deaths among dolphins. A pathological study found toxic compounds in the harmful algae that might cause a neurodegenerative problem similar to Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers from the University of Miami autopsied the brains and bodies of 14 dead dolphins. For […]

(Natural News) Recent research published in the American Society of Agronomy evaluated the effect of changing agricultural methods to the water quality of a lake in southwestern Ohio. The study aimed to determine if switching cultivation methods could improve water quality. For a decade, researchers analyzed samples from Action Lake and measured the levels of […]

(Natural News) In our latest effort to test products for heavy metals and other contaminants, we recently acquired ice water from multiple fast food chains, including Whataburger, Jack in the Box, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Burger King and more. Using our mass spec laboratory instrumentation (ICP-MS), we tested all these water samples for heavy metals. You […]
